HotCam gains :-) Just got my car back from Speed Inc today. They installed the Hotcam & springs, SLP dbl roller timing chain, chrome moly pushrods, ported TB, and custom PCM tuning.
My car previously dyno'd 331 RWHP / 340 TQ. with most of all of the usual bolt-on mods including SLP LT's and LS6 intake.
After the Hotcam install & PCM tuning, my car pulled 370 RWHP / 361 TQ. A gain of 39 HP! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
The car sure feels stronger - especially in the low and mid-range of the RPM band - which is perfect for me because that's where I spend most of my time driving my car (Daily Driver).
The Idle is a bit uneven (little bit of surging coming to a stop or slowly leaving from a stop), but I love the lopey sound my car now makes while in Park <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
I didn't have time to scan & post my dyno sheet with my sig pics, but I'll try to get that done Monday.
Needless to say, I am very pleased with the gains of the HotCam. Going in, I had hoped to get to 360 RWHP with the HotCam + PCM tuning. To surpass that goal by 10 HP is a fabulous bonus. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: HotCam gains :-) Those are indeed some nice gains for the Hotcam! I just had mine installed yesterday (along with FLP headers) and while I can't say yet what kind of numbers I'm getting, the car is definitely a much bigger kick in the pants to drive now for sure! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Oh yea, forgot to add...excellent taste in cars you have there! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
