I am personally running the hotcam and its a great cam even if its old technology but I wish I would have went with a bigger cam and will go bigger in the future. The hotcam has great streetability and is a good sleeper grind. I say with a heavily modded car this is not the cam of choice and the GM847 should be chosen. IMO, the hotcam compared to the 847 is not comparing apples to oranges as previously mentioned.

Nothing wrong with a hotcam. I just don't want to have to put another cam in once I get bigger heads. I'm too lazy for that. I do lose a little gas mileage but if your worried about gas then you bought the wrong car

When did he say that it wasn't? He never said that. He said he would have PREFERRED a bigger cam to the Hotcam.

Custom cams are not that expensive, generally only ~$100 more to get the right one, the 1st time. Works out cheaper than most that go through at least two before they're happy

I would never ever buy a cam and then hae my heads ported, I would have my heads done and then have a custom made cam to go with my setup. Get everything you can outta it thats my thinking.

My car is a daily driver, and I after put on some headers, I'll probably get an LT4 Hotcam and 1.6 RR's. What else should I add to complement the cam and roller rockers? - springs? This would be a good cam for someone like me, as I want my car to maintain driveability yet make some decent numbers.
