Lt4 Hot Cam
How much more power will a lt4 hotcam kit give you in a stock lt1 with headers and a cai and a slight port job on the heads? Any ideas on hp pwer or torque?

alright yea it will be a a4 and stalled the guy i was talknig told me a should get a 2500 stall with that cam and get at least 3.23 gears but would get 3.73's but i think i have 3.23's and 3.73's would make my gas mileage even worse.

I've got the_Merv's hotcam motor sitting here, he put down 335/335 through a slipping auto, I don't think he did anything to the heads either. I can't wait to see what its going to put down through the 6 speed, crane springs instead of the hotcam springs, slp flywheel, stupid light clutch and 58mm TB. I will be ecstatic if it puts down 350rwhp.

Absolutely, I use to drive my car daily with the 3600 and 3.73's and I loved every second of it. Everyones opinion is different but theres really no need to be intimidated by larger stalls at all especially if a Yank or Vig who are a little tighter than most other brands. The more gear the less loose the stall will be. If you want good track times then your gonna need a decent sized stall I just feel that anything below 3000 even really 3200 is a waste of time and money. Again everyone has different opinions.

i really want long tubes so i am probably going to hold off on them for right now as i need to really go ahead and start getting the motor built and tranny then worry about the exhaust.
