ASA or Reg Hotcam? Which one to go with? Car is only a nice summer weekend driver. I put about 35oo miles a year on it. Mods in sig. Only other mods planned after the cam for this year will be LT headers sometime this summer. Can I run the ASA cam without tuning? I have a MAF translator and a scanmaster If that's really gonna help me

Re: ASA or Reg Hotcam? I think Hotcam will run better with no head work for your application. Just remember to swap out stock springs. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: ASA or Reg Hotcam? Im just put in the GM hot cam this weekend in my 99 SS. But i also just ordered the ASA hot cam just before that... I guess i just love swapping cams.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Ive heard what each sound like... I still have cats on my car, so the hot cam isnt that loud at idle.. even though i dont have a muffler. But ive heard what the ASA cam sounds like with stock manifolds, no cats, and a random tech muffler.. its insane... And yes.. that ASA cam is runnin on MAFT tuning only... in an AUTOMATIC! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: ASA or Reg Hotcam? Hey RT,
I am looking at both of these cams. I want the best sounding one for my setup which is stock with GMMG on an M6 car. Which one would you pick for that right sound? Can you post a sound clip of yours?
Thanks!

Re: ASA or Reg Hotcam? If you plan on keeping your cats, i would stick with the GM hot cam, simply because the ASA cam will destroy the cats. My car sounds pretty nice with the GM hot cam, but i dont have a clip, my digi cam only does video, no audio... If you want an all out race sound... go for the ASA cam with no cats, and a random tech muffler (its the best flowing muffler and will dampen the sound enough to not get caught) and your car will be ***** to the wall loud! Extreme lope since the ASA is on a 110lsa...
If you keep your cats, like im doing, go with the GM hot cam, its awesome.

Re: ASA or Reg Hotcam? The ASA cam in my friends Automatic car didnt surge at all.. the TB was drilled out, but i dunno exactly how much. And it will kill the cats because of the amount of unburned fuel going into them because the cam is so radical..

Re: ASA or Reg Hotcam? i would think theyd peak close to the same rpm because even though the asa cam is bigger duration wise its got a tighter lsa which brings the peak back down but im by no means a cam expert so i could be wrong. if its just a weekend driver do the asa cam. if youve got another car why not go radical?
