11's with Heads and Hot Cam... Hi I'm new to this forum, and I would like to know if anyone has made 11sec. 1/4mile runs with the Hot Cam and a set of heads N/A. I own a 94' Z28 with AFR 180cc heads and Hot Cam, 3500 stall and 3.73 gears. I'm waiting on my 1.7 roller rockers before I go to the track. I'm hoping for 11's, but I just want to see if it's possible.
While 11s aren't out of the question, a larger cam mated to those heads would be a much better choice, IMO. You've got a great foundation with those AFR heads (ported?) yet you're using such a (relatively) small daily-driver cam.
The Hotcam can easily get you in the 11's if you get the rest of the setup correct. Your gears and TC are good enough to get you there. If you have the traction, 11's should be easy in a 3800 lb or less car.
If you're still running anywhere near stock CR, install the Hotcam at 107 ICL rather than just dropping it in at the typical 109 ICL. It was designed as a roadracing cam, and it works better for a driver and at the strip if you advance it to a more typical ICL for a SBC 350.
But after saying all that....sheesh!....I agree with the comments along the lines of "why?" For a few dollars more, you'd easily be in the DEEP 11's!

the hot cam is great cam only, if your going to run the afr's id def. match the heads with a better cam. ever thought about getting a custom grind cam? even if you dont go the custom grind route there are much better off shelf cams to suit those heads.

Did you get your 11 second time slip with the hot cam? How do you like those 1.7 rockers? I got a set of le1 heads to add to my hot cam car and am thinking about going with the 1.7's for the extra lift

I ran a 12.93@106 with a 1.8 60ft UNTUNED AND CAM ONLY with a 12" 2800 stall and bolt-ons. Now I have the AFR's, 9.5" 3500 stall, EWP, 200lbs weight reduction, 1.7rr, battery relocation and sway bar removed. I think I need fuel injectors and I still need a tune. O, and I love the 1.7rr because they beefed up my cam... I let you guys know when I get that 11sec time slip..lol
