The hotcam has really low duration and is .525 lift on both sides with 1.6rrs, and these heads flow into the .600s...it is way too small a cam! Mildly ported stockers are plenty for a hotcam, no need to spend that much on heads with it.
I would ask someone like AI or LE to grind a cam that will give you the rpm range and streetability you want using these heads, since power is not a top concern if you are even considering the hotcam anyway.
That way you would be able to have it peak where you want it and start making power where you need it, while still being just as drivable as the hotcam and make more power.

I disagree. Comments like him wanting a hotcam with a GOOD set of heads is why alot of people have setups that don't work and why alot of people are dissapointed in their setups. Kind of like a badass set of LE or AI heads on a 383 with a hotcam :puke: Hotcam with stock heads and bottom end sure.
But I guess I don't have room to talk with a CC306 with my setup, but it works really well IMO

If your spending the money for a nice set of heads why not compliment them with a nice cam that will put a big smile on your face everytime you get behind the wheel.

Looks like those 21 degree heads flow alot more than stock all over the board. and they only gain 7cmf from .500 to .600.I'm not doubting there are better cams than the hotcam. But I could buy these heads slap them on and gain power. Then later down the road when I have more money I can slap a bigger cam in and gain more power. Turnin20's what kind of track times are you running? Just for the record the day I got my 12.01 pass a magnacharged ls1 @ 8psi was running 12.4 and a heads and cam ls1 with a 100 shot was running 12.2. They were pissed that my hotcam only car with 150 shot was walking all over them hahahahaha And dont forget My Track is usually around 7800 DA.

Advance Induction does fantastic work no doubt, and the 21 degree casting has a lot of potential. However if I was in the head market at the moment I wouldn't be buying these castings ![Engarde](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies3/engarde.gif)
Something worth looking into would be AFR's new eliminator 235 runner head, for you flow bench racers they flow 345 at .650 lift. I know someone testing some of these heads on SBC, should know some info pretty soon.

Both have their places (unlike the Edlebroke junk they pawn to the LTX crowd).

Ok so Maybe I wait and pickup a set of trick flow 21's ported by ai with an ai cam. would this be overkill for the stock shortblock? Also would I need new rockers? I have sa crane gold 1.6's now.

You will want NSA rockers and run guide plates. I have read that with bigger cams SA rockers may fall off the valve.

Even more reason to keep the hotcam for now
Should be an accurate test of what kind of power these heads will make over stock. for what its worth I know a guy making 400rwhp with the hotcam and old gtp ported heads.

Thats entirely up to you, but like I said to really make it even better and have the fullest potential I would get a custom cam, the hotcam is old technoligy, just like my cam is. There are ALOT of ALOT better cams out there now.

But I'd like to see the dyno sheet, thats kind of hard to believe, was he running 110 or something to get the numbers?

The largest we have checked is a 230 duration .600" lift and had a ton of room left.
