ok guys I'm searching and searching and can't find how much smaller the base circle is to the stock ls1 cam. I know the ls6 cam is .050 smaller, but that is because you uses longer valves also. I know my stock pr's will be fine strength wise, but need to make sure the length is close enuf on them. If it is within .025 of the stock cam I will just reuse stockers.

 

I am reasonably sure that the hot cam has the same base circle as the stock ls1 cam. It doesn't show the base circle diameter, but here is the cam card for the GMPP "HOT" Cam in case you needed any of the other info.

 

Thanks i appreciate the info^. does anybody else know 100% if the hot cam has the same base circle or not?

Damnit darkman that didn't tell me a thing lol. Alot of people said it's fine and alot said get new and no one knew the base circle

 

As I read it, there was no question that stock push rods are the correct length (e.g. see post #12), which means the base circle is the same. I believe all the fuss was about whether stock push rods ought to be replaced with hardened pushrods.

 

Thanks, that is good enuf for me...

 

What would be good shift points for hot cam?
