I think some people on here are running a cc503 with no other mods. He would always be safe with the basic LT4 hotcam wont make a huge power increase without the 1.6RRs and supporting mods. but will do some. Does he have hedders if not I would get those first a set of pacesetters are about $270.

Even with the hot cam he'll have to change Valve springs. Probably something in the range of a cc 304 or to that affect.
