Thinking of installing a Hotcam... I want to install the Hotcam because of the price ($450.00 for kit). Do you thing that I could hit the 390rwhp mark by adding the Hotcam/pulleys/cutout to my current setup? I was thinking I could get 15rwhp with the pulleys/cutout and hopefully another 25+rwhp from the cam. Let me know if these numbers sound realistic.

Re: Thinking of installing a Hotcam... hotcam+slp lts+catback+lid
351/364
I belive you will nearly have to get heads to
make 400 but every car is diffrent..
Hotcam kit is very good.. it was a great thing
for me because pace parts provided all gaskets
and crank bolt for me.. I did not know enough
about the engine at that time to do the install
with out the entire kit..
MPG hwy 75mph AC on, late night 29.23
MPG daytime 80MPH avg 26
The heat and extra 5 mph makes a diffrence..

Re: Thinking of installing a Hotcam... I think its possible.
I have the hotcam with most bolt-ons, no pullies no cutouts and i usually trap about 112.5mph in the 1/4
That trap speed with an M6 should put me around 370-380. but i could be wrong.

My bolt on M6 traps 115 and only dynoes in the 35x rwhp range
