A friend of mine has a full bolt on car making 327rwhp and 340rwtq, so I could see a hot cam car making 400 but I would think the conditions would have to be extremly favorable. No offense, but the "I have a friend" thing means nothing to me. Time slips or a dynograph (even then results can be questionable) are the only thing that matters. |

It's not really fair to say it's not the best cam either. Best cam in what? lol. There are cams out there that will make far more power than a hotcam, but will suck ass in driveability and fuel economy. It's like comparing bananas to roasted pastachios |
All I wanted to know is, Who has the Fastest Car With an lt4 hotcam in it! And What does it RUN? |
Lots of talk about dyno numbers but very little about track times. 1.79 60' 7.87 90.1mph best 1/8th Knoxville dragway 1.89 60' 12.32 115.3mph best 1/4 with a 20mph headwind. Atlanta dragway. It is what it is. |
Here's what mine did back in '99-'00. Mods back then were SLP dual cat headers into stock catted y-pipe, SLP/Borla catback, pulley, 1.6 rockers, 1LE driveshaft, 4.10 gears, among other misc bolt ons. 12.44@111.27 on a 1.75 Passed tailpipe emissions and gets good gas mileage. It was fairly quick back then but no really today. Hope to get some long tubes on it one of these days as that should really help since the SLP's and stock y-pipe are pretty restrictive. |

Is it a nice cam? Yes. Is it the best cam? Far from it! I don't know what all the discussion is about. :eyes: |

Hell dyno graphs and time slips dont mean shit anyway if you want to say that. Temp, humidity, density altitude, driver, ect... I still have yet to see a LT4 hot cammed car make 400rwhp.

Which cam is the best, and why isn't everyone running it? |
I have been running my hot cam for 8 years now and like the drivability and the 22mpg on the highway. I have 355ci stock ported heads by me with manly stock size valves, most of the bolt on's with stock exhaust thru cat's and borla mufflers. I ran 12.037 at 115.49mph with a 1.64 60ft. I just put shorty headers on and ran 12.038 at 116.34mph with a 1.67 60ft on April 26th 2009. I don't have a dyno number but I plan on doing it this summer. If I didn't drive the car on the street I would go bigger but I like the mild manners for a weekend cruzer. |

"Best cam" is subjective, while "not the best cam" isn't subjective? |
It's a 96 Vette with 3.73 gears, A4 trans w/2800 stall, Hoosier QTP DOT 9.50X26X16 tires, Bone stock suspension, 3565 race weight. I bracket race the car and it runs very consistent. I have over 2000 passes with that cam and engine plus some street driving. |

Nice times. What was your race weight, trans, gear, tire, any suspension mods? |
The shorty headers didn't really do much maybe 1mph. I need to get rid of that rensenator in the stock exhaust system or just get long tubes and cut outs. The combo has worked so well I don't want to mess with it. I've won alot of Trophy's with it and made the ET finals almost every year. I'm currently in 3rd place at Pacific Raceways Pro bracket so I not touching a thing.:devil: |
^ Daaaaamn nice, well if i was in the running [top 3] i wouldnt be changing anything else either! :chug: |
