Hot Cam?
Hot Cam? What kind of power gains are expected from a hot cam? I don't know whether to get the hot cam kit from SDPC, or buy my buddies TSP 231/237. Budget is holding me back here, thats why my choices are limited.

I ran 918's on the TSP 231/237 no problem. The ramp rates aren't too aggressive. The cam hits hard in the upper rev range. Mid range is good. Low end is not that great. A good tune is absolutely necessary.

I would use and trust Comp 918's on basically any cam you could put into a street driven LS1. I believe they were rated to .620 lift before the 921's came out and the beehive design is a plus.
I know how working on a budget goes, I would take a used 231/237 (I assume he upgraded?) before a hotcam. I see a heads/cam/stalled LS1 in your sig, what car is this for? What transmission? What gears/converter?

I would say so, but don't ever take anyone's word for it on here without ever checking it yourself with the correct tools. These cars are like fingerprints....you get my drift.
