I got the hot cam in my 97 camaro with m6 theres barely any cam surge as long you stay above 1100 rpm. I got my car tuned by http://www.pcmforless.com/index.php?...tpage&Itemid=1 he does excellent work.

I have no cam surge and my car idles between 800 and 900 rpms. Ed Wright in Tulsa OK. did my tune. I am very happy with the work he did. The car makes 380rwhp with this cam and other mods. Some people on this site find it unbelievable that the car makes this power on an auto, but just ask Ed about Seamus's car with the Hot cam
if you do decide to call him aabout a tune. I have a good friend here in Dallas that makes right at 390 with the Hot cam on a 6 speed car.

I have the Cam, and it idles at 550-650 RPM, no problems. What do you have done to get 380 RWHP, that's pretty damn good on a Hotcam....

I have ported heads/intake(GTP in Houston), Hot cam, AS&M midlength headers, Randon Tech 2 cat y-pipe, Bolra. I have a few bolt ons, but still have a few to do.
I have a great tune and a well balanced motor, which makes a big difference.
I have had 2 96 WS6s. One had 254 and one had 272 hp from the factory. Both were autos. It really helps to start with a well balanced motor!
