A Question about GM Hot Cam? Help I was wondering but kind of power gains through the RPM band with this cam. I have QTP Headers and ORY if that helps any. But I am new to this. Also how is the idle I dont wanna go to big of a car cause I still wanna drive it often. Thanks

I just installed it about a month ago and am going to get it tuned this week. I drilled out the throttle body a little and the idling is bearable. This cam has a very nice grumble to it. I can definately feel the power in the midrange. I love it. I was also not wanting to go too big because it is my DD. I will post up the graph after the tune.

It is good to change the valve springs to LS6 style when installing the cam. Don't wait.
As for noticing a difference from stock, yes there is a big difference untuned.

What I really love about this cam is you can forget about having to change valvesprings, and even if you do some time in the future they are awefully cheap (LS6 springs)
