What does the car weigh? Have you run it at the track already? what did it run? Slicks or DR's?
You're going to have to expand more on your objectives to get some useful input. I really don't see anything in your mod list that would make me get rid of the Hotcam at this point. Stock LT4 heads and stock CR don't really support more of a cam to make the swap worthwhile. At stock weight, the parts you have already are good for high 11's at about 112 mph. Tune it! It's hard for me to justify tearing into a perfectly good motor if you haven't yet established a baseline with what you have.

I'm not running that cam. It's a very good street cam that would fit your build nicely.

Also, do not worry about rwhp numbers in an Lt1. You will only be disappointed. Concentrate on either track times or how it feels cause it will pretty much always dyno low.

well it ran 7.94 at 88 1/8th no 1/4 mile times yet with 3750 race weight it think and m/t drag radials,and yes its been tuned by (bluecat) making 336rwhp car still has the spare tire and jack in it.

no problems with shifting at 6600.

why not start with some suspension? shocks, springs, tires, then the usual other supporting suspension pieces

jatsfirebird03

already have all suspention mods, drag suspention mods by hotchkis

if you are on a budget just hunt through the classifieds and try to find something with close to the specs you want. thats how i ended up with the cam that i have now. If you have a little money to play with then LE would be my choice for a "street car" cam.

jatsfirebird03

not on a budget but yes was looking at LE for a cam,because he had the fastest cam only record didn't he?

not sure about the current cam only record, i think it was for a while the crane 227. but, record holders (bolt-on, cam only, etc) are very well tuned, and obviously not the typical results. there is a LE cam in the classifieds right now that is a smoking deal.

jatsfirebird03

o yea, ill look

Ill be selling my LE cam soon. Made 415rwhp through a dana S60 and peaks about 6400.

jatsfirebird03

i guess that was heads and cam,was that at56 too i guess? my buddy just got the ai h/c with a edge stall and a 4l80e it made431rwhp.

jatsfirebird03

im just looking at cam only cars so i can see what they made and ran so i can get close to that,but my setup should do allittle better though.

probably not going to pick up a whole lot just from a cam swap alone. i ran a 7.73 in the 1/8th with my cam only set up with a little less weight but a little more stall/gears. only suspension mod is a set of comp. eng. drag shocks. my cam is 236/242 110. either way good luck and let us know what you end up with.
