Hey guys, Ive been searching and not getting much feed back.

Im looking to put a cam in my lq4 before my son is born to finish up my swap. I have a new hot cam laying on the shelf.

Will the hot cam go in with no ptv clearance issues on my:

stock lq4 short block
factory head gaskets
tea stage 3 heads 2.055 valves milled to 58 cc

I really want a big cam, but dont want to fly cut and need to slap it together fast.

What kinda power will it make with headers and a ls6 intake?

 

Yes ptv would be fine. If You want a bigger cam than go for it there are tons of camshafts that fit fine with no ptv and make and ton more power than a hotcam. Edit-- miss you had milled heads, I still believe you can run a bigger cam but would recommend checking ptv cleanrance.

 

I just saw a post on another site that a guy is running 58cc heads on a ls1 with a 224 so i may go that route instead. I want all that I can get, but im in a time frame you see.

 

224 would be a better than a hotcam for sure. Maybe go custom grind which would optimize your setup and run well.

 

Thanks man, Like I said Im trying to find something cheap I can throw in there for a season or so and not worry about.

 

well if you already have the hotcam jam it in there, Its easy on spring also which makes it nice

 

I have stage 3 tea heads with .650 lift springs

 

Shoot the hotcam comes with ls6 springs lol. wont have to worry at all then.

 

Call EPS and talk to Geoff he'll set you up right. those TEA heads are
really nice pieces and deserve a correct bumpstick

 

I called and emailed tsp, he wouldnt really tell me much. Im guessing cause im running the tea heads and not tsp. I tried to called tea about 4 times today with no luck or return emails.

 

I know it is not a great cam by any standard. However, I made 381/373 with mine. It has been in the car for 8 years this summer. I have never had a problem with it, and it is a fun car to drive.
