To me it seems like a waste of time. In my opinion there are much better options close to that range.

I've said it before anyone considering going with the Hotcam should step up to the ASA instead.

Better choices IMO. Go look around in the Dyno section you'll see what i mean.

I have a similar grind custom cam with LSK lobes with the 220/228 on a 112LSA for my 6.0L, should work well with the L92's. I'll let you know this summer when it goes to the DYNO...

I have a hotcam and while there are better cams, there won't be a better one for 100 bucks.the pluses are that springs are cheap-60 bucks, stock pushrods are fine since the powerband ony peak around 6200 (in my a4) and the ony time I got to the track I ran a 12.4 @ 111mph on a break in tune an easy launch(1.85) on a stock weight a4. I'm getting a tune/nitrous tune this weekend and I will post up numbers and track time the next week off the botte.

imo it got a great chop with tock driving manners (3800 stall). basically you can have a cam swap for 200 bucks

my vote is to pass on it and get a tr224 or similar. they're usually on here for $200+. But in the end it's your car, hot cams are good choices for someone wanting a less radical cammed DD.

also i don't see an LS6 intake in you mod list. If not, that may be another thing to look into as well!
