Its all about the ASA hotcam.. 226/236 .525/.525 110LSA.... i LOVE lope... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

95Compta - yep stock 3.42 gears, until I get the new rear under the car - which might end up having to be sooner than later <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> After that I'll be looking in the 4.10+ range.

Cal - it will have just a small lope <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> Shouldn't be to noticeable from stock right? <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

As soon as I get the cam in and tuned, it won't be going in until mid march, I will let everyone know my opinions on everything from driveability to power.

I know I've seen dynos of Hotcam'd cars with all the bolt on's putting down ~400rwhp. And I've seen dyno sheets of 'em with much less. Tuning is a big part of course - mine was PIG rich after adding the cam and LT's and I've gotten my results with some half-assed tuning using ATap/MAFT/HPP3. Seems to work for me, it may not for others.

And again, if you're looking for "all out numbers" whether it be on the dyno or at the track, there are many better choices than the Hotcam. However, if you're looking for a cam that on stock heads puts down decent power throughout the rpm band, at minimal cost, and can be expected to perform reliably for a long time, then the Hotcam is a good choice. And that wonderful loping idle (IMO *L*) is just an added bonus! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I went with a 2002 LS6 cam and springs. It's not a real big cam, but the reliability, (daily driver)emissions concerns (I live in CA) and stock idle quality mean a lot to me. Plus it runs a lot smoother, like it's meant to be in this motor in the first place.

Good flow numbers for LS1 Stage 2 heads are what.. 290-305? And about.. 305-320 for LS6 heads? Correct me if i'm wrong, I probably am, but are you saying that you should go with more lift if you have high flow numbers? Doesn't more lift mean more wear and tear on your cam, lifters and springs in turn creating the need for stiffer springs to prevent valve float and therefore creating more seat pressure and the need for more power to move that stubborn valvetrain?

-How much more power are S2 LS6 heads going to make over S2 LS1 heads? Do LS6 heads only come in 5.7? Would 4.8/5.3 LS1 heads with more compression make as much power as 5.7 LS6 heads with less compression?

-How much more power is the 580ish lift range going to make over the 560ish lift range? Is it really that much worse? What engine and driveability issues would the higher lift bring on? Would you notice?

-How does timing work? You guys say +2 advance and -4 advance.... Doesn't more advance mean higher rpm power and lower advance mean lower rpm power. I thought that was how the LSA worked. Do they work together?

Thanks for any insight- Mike W.

222/222 mti hammer cam. because it's not a real big cam but john campbell went 10's on it so i thought i would try it.i'm glad i'm a copy cat,i love everything about this cam. with heads and almost all the boltons (no mass air,ported t-body and no cut out)i got 424.1 hp & 407.3 tq, 11.71 @ 119mph 1.8 60's.
