Default Used hotcam price...

What is the most that you would pay for a used hotcam kit with low mileage? Springs and everything included in the kit new. Just curious so let me know and don't give me any of that i wouldn't buy a hotcam horseshit. This is a "for instance" type question as if you were in my position, pretend you want a hotcam no matter how hard it is for you.~thanks for your time

i wouldnt buy a hotcam, but if i were i probably wouldnt spend more than $100-150 for the kit. Knowing that you could find decent 224 cams out there for $200 sometimes id try and get a hotcam dirt cheap.

if i did, i would be damn sure i knew exactly what i was getting, and that it was unharmed. its too easy to buy a piece of crap. i considered buying a used cam also, but i was convinced otherwise because of that same reason. and like it was already stated, the hotcam doesnt have shyt on a thunder racing TR224. TR224 = better performance, better streetability, less noticeable.

I like TSP's pkg's you can get cam, dual springs, hardened PR's for less than $700.
