There is not one person here that says the lt4 hotcam will go slower or wont gain, in fact everyone here has said its a proven performer and just old technology now and there is better choices.

There is a huge difference between the stock cast crank and a scat/eagle cast cranks. The stock one is an awesome piece and you won't here anyone argue about its quality. If I had a choice to build a stock crank 355 or a cast eagle crank stroker hands down it would be the 355 with an OEM crankshaft.

The "New Technology" Myth - Often, camshaft or lobe series releases are accompanied by claims that they are the product of technological breakthrough. With rapid advancement in many areas of our lives, it is understandable that the studied consumer would be inclined to believe this claim is not only reasonable, but would be a necessity for designs to be improved.
However, several facts undermine the significance of this assertion. Notably, the reality that leading edge cam & valve train design software still employ decades old mathematic formulas. This should come as no surprise considering man has been utilizing cam actuation for centuries. Beyond this, aside from moving to a different valve train arrangement (e.g. OHC), the variables in play (not the values) typically remain very similar for a given style of valve train. Lobe design alterations are precipitated by changes in those variable values such as reciprocating mass, lifter characteristics, and camshaft base circle radius. As we progress we are refining designs rather than revolutionizing them.

200 for the kit unopened/unused is a good deal...i'm sure you've got that point by now.
I still run the hot cam KIT...I paid a lot more back when I got it.
My car is a M6, but its full bolts, 4:10's, and this kit...It's a great improvement and good for street/strip. I drive mine mostly on the weekends now, but I used to DD on this setup.
If my car was race only, I would consider something else...but since 90% of my time is spent on the street, I still love this setup.
