I dont know from experience, but People with full boltons are making 320-340 RWHP with the hotcam kit. For the money I say its not a bad kit. Do a search, there are tons of threads about it. I believe summit sales them.

Hey fella,
to answer your question as to where you can get it besides summit.
Call up James Cromer of Sam Taylor Chevrolet dealership located in Florida.
Me and my buddy got ours from him and the price/shipping is pretty fair.
You can get the parts line number on samtaylor.com

Mine is still waiting to be installed but my buddy has had his in for awhile and dynoed 344 horse and 344 torque
his fastest time in the 1/8th with BFG drag radials is 8.03 @ 85 mph

what else did he have for mods? I have been thinking 52mm TB and an electric water pump. I want something to give me some more power in the street, w/ this being my DD, and be too radical.

Throttle body is stock with an air foil from SLP
stock water pump.
He's got your basic bolt ons, LPE CAI, Jet Hod Headers etc.,
with home ported heads and intake.
thats pretty well all he's got along with suspension items.
its very streetable and runs great!

I ran best of a 12.086 @ 113 mph, 383, hotcam, 3700+ pounds, 4L60e, 2000 rpm stall, no suspenion, on nitto, also full bolt on and exhaust, witha mail order tune at LVD.

I mean the car ran well for the mods, emissions restricted the cam choice to this, its not a bad cam but there are better grinds out there, but again this is drives like stock and runs faster then stock.

Yeah I know there are better out there, but this seems like a good choice for myself. I don't want something that breaks the rear AS fast. Hopefully it will last until I get my enlistment bonus. Plus it will be stock cubes unless I can find something else for a decent price. What other grinds are out there that will keep it sounding as close to stock as possible? Not all that knowledgeable about head/cam setups.

I don;t have one but a lot of people with them seem to get around 230 or so with supporting mods (headers, intake, blah blah blah).
