Default Ls1 hotcam on a C5

I bought a Ls1 hotcam about a year and a half ago. I didnt plan to use it for my C5 when I bought it. I had a pontiac T/A and the cam was going in it. I sold the T/A. How much gain could I get out of that cam in my C5? I dont want the car to loop to hard, what does the loop sound like? Should I sell the cam and go with another cam. I have a Vararam system that I havent installed yet either. Help.... I dont know what to do.

What are your current mods?? What are your future plans?? Is your car a 6 speed or auto?

www.ls1sounds.com has all kinds of sounds you can listen, too.

From all the reviews I've read about the hotcam, it lopes pretty hard. If that's not what you want, then sell it and buy a cam with a 114 (or higher) lsa.

Default A stock A4 C5,

It has compatition mode, and 3:15 gears. I havent put on the vararam yet. Im going to get the heads ported. Im thinking about a stall converter. I want to get close to 400 hps or more without a power adder. A exhuast job is in the plans also. I dont want a cam that loops high, but I do want maximum performance.

Default Sounds like...

I should get rid of the hotcam. How much is the Hot cam worth? Ive never used the cam before. I live in California. Also what cam do I replace it with? I need to pass smog also.

I would get rid of it. Do a search in the for sale section and see what they have sold for. I'd guess 150 to 200. I don't know the vehicle inspections in CA either, but if I was to guess at that I'd say something like the 02 LS6 cam. A car with the mods I mentioned above and the 02 LS6 cam and springs would be pretty quick.

If you do decide to sell it, let me know cause I'd be very interested in this for my other project I'm working on.
