Default What Can I Expect

Hey whatsup? I'm new to this board and had a quick question for you guys. I just picked up a 1996 Camaro Z28. Its a 6-speed and its got True duals with and x pipe(if anybody happens to want a flowmaster cat back pm me) Pacesetter LTs, K&N CAI, Lt4 hotcam. How much horsepower could I expect to get out of it? Also what is the general area of times that I should expect to be running in the 1/4 mile. I know that I'm going to get bashed for asking you guys about this but I'm a noob to these cars and dont know what the run.

A hotcammed car will usually put down somewhere in the 330rwhp area, I believe. Should be good for mid-high 12's, depending on traction and altitude.

alright, how much does the lt4 hotcam cut your gas mileage? I know that it's mostly about how you drive it though.

You know that you will have to replace your heads with LT4 heads to run the LT4 intake right?

The hotcam will suit a lot of peoples needs, but for me I wanted a little more so I opted for the CC503.

yeah he messed up and meant an intake and a lt4 hotcam, not a lt4 intake. So is the hotcam pretty much the same as the cc 503 but a little smaller?
