you need to do a search, there is a four page discussion about this cam on the second or third page.
but yes it will work, how well will you like it, i dont know? you could get by, but it will be so much better after you get it tuned!

The hotcam is one of the only cams in that size area you wont be "alright" with on stock tune.

I second that, my car would hardly run until I tuned it. I was able to get it cranked but it was miserable to drive until it was properly tuned.

The Z06 camshaft is MUCH milder than the Hotam. Why would he need a tune for the Z06 but be ok with the Hotcam?
