On page 303 of the Summit Racing catalog for July-August 2006 on the bottom right hand corner of the screen, GM is offering a "Gen 3 Hot Cam Kit". The cam looks like it has good numbers but i wanted to know if anyone had any information or experience to share about it. I was thinking of combining it with 220/83 heads and being able to pump out a respectable amount of horsepower.

i would appreciate any and all comments as this would be my first major upgrade.

 

You just opened a can of negative feedback.

I have had good experiences with it. The hotcam fills a need depending on your goals. If your goals are for a dyno queen, then you are choosing the wrong cam.

 

What is the deal with the hotcam posts lately?

 

Does anyone know if this cam will pass CA emissions?

 

Should. It is not over 230 duration.

 

yes it will. Only with a tune I believe.

I also believe that 230 plus cams have passed...with a very smog friendly tune.

 

Yeah, run it lean and push it to the shop.

 

I was thinking the same thing.

 

Orange make a hotcam only stickey or its own forum for that matter.List pros and cons and what mods help and what dont stuff like that.

 

That cam will net you around 360-370 RWHP in an M6 with all the boltons, it can make for a respectable well mannered car, but if your going up against other cammed LS1's, dont expect to win too much.

 

thanks for the reply......just answers my question to just look over it =D
