Cam Install On A 94 Z28
Over the coming winter i have decided to go with a cam rr's valvesprings harden pushrods the cam i am going with is obvisouly is the CC503. Question is do you have to drop the motor? or can i hall the condensor and radiator out of the way? Will there be enough room to remove the stock cam than? Thanks.

Thanks to shbox I did my first cam swap and valve springs on a 94 trans am. It's easy and straight forward, just triple check everything and be sure to have a torque wrench.
Now I have a bone stock 95 vette and I'm wondering if the cam will come out with the engine in. With the vette I can see the back of the lt1, now the front is cramped! I can't decide between cc503 or lt4 hotcam.
Good luck with it, have a hub puller ready, and a valve spring tool, and try your best not to rip the pan gasket or you are in for a whole new level of fun lol.

Holy **** that is a good drop with just a cam and valvetrain who tuned your car after the cam swap? I am going with PCM4LESS, i have a mailorder tune now from them haven't had a problem yet.

12.6's is nice. My problem is there are a lot of lt4 hotcam cars running damn good times as well, just as good as almost any other cam only setup out there, but they retain alot of driveability, plus they have proven their reliability. The lt4 hotcam doesnt need to be revved as high as a cc503 to see its potential either, so a spun bearing is a little less likely. On the other side of things, the lt4 hotcam is old tech, LE or AI probably have a cam that can do better then it and still act the same, atleast I would like to think so. I just know 10-15hp isnt worth sacrificing how the car drives on the street to me anymore. Id rather make the power up with say...a 100 shot! lol.
btw, not saying the cc503 has any issues, but I do recall if shift points/rpms arent set right it can be a big difference in 1/4 mile times. The 503 likes to rev a little higher. But its also been a proven cam as well. Tough choices.

Funny you should mention about the shiftpoints when i first bought the car it had a shiftkit installed would not go over 4,500 rpm's. i tried to shift the car myself soon as 4,500 bang in the next gear. When i installed my converter i got a tune frompcm4less, they hit it right on. Now the car is shifting at 5,800 now i think.I was talking to them they tell me when i am ready send it down. A buddy of mine has the LT4 hotcam in his Vette, he thinks he is going to smoke me next yr. We will see about that.

Yeah I shift my car at 6400 at the track, it definitely makes power all the way up there. I don't expect it to last forever since it's still the stock 119K mile motor.
