"hot cam" guys come in
"hot cam" guys come in I'm going to be sending off for my tune and was wondering...what do you guy's have your idle set at? I still want that great lope but I don't want it dying/stalling on me all the time. any recommendations? thanks
It was either 500 or 550.Those few extra rpm make a big difference.After my car was tuned,it ran almost like stock.If you wanna call it that.The only issue with the cam was everyonce in awhile you'll get surging/bucking.I would just manually drop it down a gear since it only did it under 35 mph.
after the tune...did the cam really wake the car up.. did you ever dyno it?

With headers/off road y-pipe and the stock ls1 intake I put down 350/350.With every bolt on except an electric water pump and with ported 98 heads,1.8 rockers and a 3500 stall I did 380/380.My car just dynos lower than most of the other "internet" hotcam numbers,but mines an auto as well.It pulls hard on the street though.
I pulled out the hotcam a couple of days ago and went with an off the shelf 228-230 Comp grind.I'm getting it retuned tomorrow to see what it does.

Here you go! A little more than you asked for, but I didn't feel like editing.
Initial idle is stock. Hotcam idle is set @ 750 rpm.

any of you guys ever run a hotcam on a stock stall converter? i might get oen for really cheap locally and might throw it in with a set of mac mids this summer but i might not be able to afford the stall for a few months
