Default ls1 hot cam

what kind of power is the hot cam making with stock heads also what do you guys think of 4.8 truck heads with 2.02/1.57 ported polished no decking due to high compression already with the hot cam and a 100 shot via TNT with the boltons i have now and 100 shot i make 440rwhp and 486 rwtq what sould i look for in gains

hotcam and truck heads (should prolly mill.015) and a little n20 would be a killer street setup, the hotcam loves the bottle....the cam wont up you comprestion but might fill the cylnders a little better or worse(cam remember for the hotcam). i would recomend,
milled.015 truck heads
hotcam,n20 and tuning....

A lot of guys are making 360+ rwhp on stock heads and all the bolt-ons with the Hotcam.

When comparing numbers between cams, always keep in mind that some cars can dyno better than 370 RWHP with the stock cam and stock heads. My '02 dynoed 359, for example, and it's an A4.

Well, I got my results and I am pleased. Too bad its so damn hot today! 83 Degrees while the test was done.

RWHP-365
RWTQ-372

I'm happy because I gained a lot of area under the curve which is more important than peak hp for me. (This is my daily driver) Here is a link to the dyno graph:

http://tatommy.com/dynoruns.htm

I have my old run before the cam and intake also on there for comparison.

Yeah, keep in mind I put down only 325rwhp before the cam and intake with much cooler weather. Had I dynoed now with those same conditions I probably would have picked up over 45rwhp with those two mods.

So the comparison is not perfect.

Good luck!

It shouldn't matter the temp that day if those are corrected numbers. Are they corrected or not?

They are NOT corrected, that is exactly why I mentioned the temp...
