Default Hot Cam #'s? ? ?

What kind of RWHP gains can you get out of a hot cam? Please let me know asap, I have a deal to get Cam and Springs for $250.00 so let me know?

With just the cam swap you can expect about 20hp or so.On my car with Hooker longtubes,offroad y-pipe,stock tuning and a Flowmaster catback my Trans Am dynoed 358hp and 353lb/ft tq at the wheels.

I gained 39 RWHP with the HotCam + PCM tuning + ported TB <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> My car already had a lot of bolt-ons though when I had the cam installed (LT's, LS6 intake, 85mm MAF, etc)

Good luck <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

TNT, Don't do it. The Hot cam will not give you any gains. In fact, it will take away power. Give me the email address to who is selling you this cam. He's playing you. <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" />

I dont know about how much gain the cam itself gave. But It WAS well worth the $$ I bought my Kit new for $314 in a GP a year or so ago. Dyno #'s in Sig.

I have a friend that uses bad words towards his car because of that cam, he wants more. He was also calling everything a piece of **** cause he couldnt get his lowering springs on the front <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

I run 1/10 of a second slower than the fastest H/C car around here. He is running an M6 with 4.10 gears and e.t. streets, the C2 cam and ported heads..slicks, macs, and all the bolt-ons like me. I have only had DR's to make my runs too.
For the money it is awesome and it will require tunning on an A4. I foyu are on a budget then go for it. I don't know about dyno numbers but i dropped 5/10 of a second of my 1/4 mile after the cam macs and self-ported TB. I spin alot more now too.
