Default Hotcam is installed!!!!!!!!

So I got the hotcam swap all finished up and made a quick video for everyone (not that we all haven't heard a thousand hotcams). It also got a new distributor, plugs, wires, map sensor, oxygen sensors, egr block off, and a whole lot of other things I can't think of right now. Either way, enjoy and let me know what you guys think.

No, it's untuned. I have to find a good place to get it tuned.

Where did you end up getting your Hotcam kit from? What did it run you if you don't mind my asking...I will be doing a cam swap down the road after I finish my exhaust.

I got it from a guy off here, and I paid 350 for it. I'll hit up the track after I get a tune. I guess I'll just call up pcm for less, and see what they can do.

Sounds good. I just find it weird that every hotcam idle clip I hear sounds different. Some lope like a mother and others sound stock.

Ironoutlaw I made a post about that very same thing. Mine loped alot harder than the one in this thread. Its so weird like these cams were never exactly the same. After I got it tuned some of the lope went away though.
