Default LT4 Hotcam

I want to buy the LT4 hotcam kit from www.samtaylor.com and was wondering about how much of a time that this kit takes off a totally stock LT1 A4. Also is there anything else needed to install this kit?

We keep the hot cam kit in stock for $499.95. The kit comes with the hot cam,1.6 rocker arms, valve springs, and retainers, so you shouldn't need anything else. The only thingyou will need is to get your PCM tuned. Let me know if we can help!!

You said stock but your time & trap speed in your sig show a bolton car. What mods do you have? Makes an estimate on power a little more accurate.

Ive heard that the pin at the end of the camshaft must be shortened to fit in pre 95 cars. Just how hard is this to do?

I'd say given that your going to keep the stock heads, the cam should add 30 hp. I would say probably 3-4 tenths in the quarter.
