Default Which cam is more reliable for daily driving??

Which would be a better cam for daily driving with about 12,000 miles a year. The hotcam or the CC503. Also is the CC503 worth the extra $250 or so (power wise) compared to getting the hotcam.

Reliable as in how? Do it right and use good parts all those cams will work great. Those cams are also really popular, my buddy had a CC305 in his car back in 1997, people have the tunes for all those cams dead on.

i think he meant 503....people say its a little better than the hotcam. I have a GM847 and its reliable for my daily driving. Its all in what you can take.(however, the brakes do suck at idle)

503 will have higher lift with 1.6rr's than the hot cam will.
