How much am i going to gain if i go with LT4 hot cam kit with stock heads?

laxmad16

i was also wondering about this, i also heard that there is a head/cam package for somewhere around $1600 that will give you about 400 hp is this true?

hot cam works pretty good with stock heads. i put down 344 hp with it.

yes with the hotcam kit which comes with 1.6 roller rockers 325-345rwhp is about where you'll be,if you have cai,headers,exhaust.....good luck

I am happy with the Hotcam, it works. I haven't had a chance to Dyno it, I have to get my LT's on it before I do.

i know you will feel the difference after you install LT. But, could you feel the difference with just the hot cam?

I loved mine on my '93 supposed to be around 430fwhp. I could break traction in 3rd gear (M6) at 90 mph in the dry. Yeehaa.

344 on a hot cam? thats a bit high, you didn't have any other mods done other than the usual headers and exhaust and CAI?

Those le packages are nice looking, seems for $300 more than buying assembled trick flow heads, you get 400+rwhp out of the le2 package. Wish I knew about this before I rebuilt my top end.

I've dyno'd mine cam only (no tuning) and gained 24 peak hp but over 30 gained past 5k, and was still making power at the factory redline. Torque stays about the same until after 5k also and gains over 30 above 5k. I just got the pcm tuned and will be dynoing again very soon.

One thing I noticed comparing dyno sheets is that the hotcam makes identical power to the stock cam until 5k. This is on stock tuning though so we'll check the differences once I get it dyno'd again w/ tuning.

As you can see the Hotcam doesn't help much for street driving on stock tuning and the rev limiter will cut you short at ~5700 so it's good to raise the rpm limit so you can actually see some good gains out of it at high rpm.

344 is good for his mods, but achievable. I have a buddy with a 6 speed, the only other main mod being ported heads and he puts down close to 40 more. Mine is an auto and I put down 380. It all depends on what supporting mods you have, and if you got a decent block from the factory.
