I wpuld say the hotcam, but most likely they are probably about the same. I've seen hotcam cars make just about 400 whp with a good tuner.

LS1 Hot Cam Kit - 218/227 .525/.525 112 LSA
LS6 Camshaft - 204/218 .551/.541 117.5 LSA

the hot cam should make more power, and with the 112 LSA it should have a choppy idle. the ls6 cam will sound stock but make about 20rwhp more than stock cam.

The hot cam is, but I personally go with a custom spec'd cam

hello, i have the ls6 cam and i wish i went slightly bigger. positives are smooth idle 600rpm, sounds stock no lope , the negative are my low dyno #'s with an A4. when i called lunati they recommended 221/221, 565 lift on a 115 lsa. now if i chg i'm thinking tr224 or 224/228 565 lift (because i hav ls6 springs) on a 115 or 114 lsa. cheers! just my 2 cents ps if you dont want to run over 6k rpms the ls6 is good because peak hp on the dyno was 5750, of coarse it can rev higher.
