You will probably run low-mid 12's with no other mods but Hotcam, Full Exhaust, Lid and a full weight car running on drag radials with excellent driving. With ls6 intake and those mods you could make around 370-380rwhp.

Peace,

I bet you will hit low low 12's with traction, you will love the sound and it pulls strong all the way to 6300 and you don't have to take it to the moon to make power. However prepare to be flamed, alot of people hate the hotcam with a passion..........

In CA, very doubtful, and depends if it is a sniffer or computer test. There will be no hiding that you have it.

to much overlap. you might be able to with some tricks and a 1k rpm idle or so. you'll need a smog tune as it wont pass on its own with a regular tune.

I rode in SSCAMARO99_3 's car and the car pulls really really hard at about 3k rpm's. The car is awesome. I think that it would put down almost 400rwhp with a tune. The cam is a good cam for the money, driveability, and sound. Obviously it is not a bad azz cam like the MTI or the TR, but everybody is different..

LOL! Ya'll need my view on the NOTcam? Do a search.

C'mon now, seriously, I give credit where credit is due when I'm not trying to be funny. Just read what I've said about it carefully. Sometimes people only hear the bad about something. I give it props for being what it is...easy on springs and easy on the wallet. Other than that there are obviously far better choices. So that's the short version. For the colorful version hit that search button!

Thanks, but if I put down 400 rwhp with tuning, I will most likely have a heart attack.
