lt4 hot cam, or CC306

To me it was a great cam, I used it as a DD and got good mpg and the power was there from 1500 all the way up to around 6000rpm (did not have any cam surge either). It had a really mean sound too on a 112LSA. It can also be emissions friendly which is also a plus. Car made 335rwhp and 340rwtq with the cc503 with MAC mids, stock heads and a PCM4Less tune.
Just my .02
you wont like the 306 even though it sounds like heaven. youll have NO torque until 3500 rpms which sucks IMO. the thing people dont realize when going with big cams on stock heads is that once you get so big with a cam, the low end power loss starts being more than the top end gain.
Im going with the XE503 (224/230) when funds allow. Ive researched this ALOT during down hours at work, and im set on my choice. This is a very good all around cam which is a bit more potent than a hotcam, but significantly milder than a 306. It makes good down low power, and can rev to 6500 if you want it to. Its availible in a 110,112, and 114 grinds. Im going to go with a 110 lsa because i want it to chop good like you do, so that would be my recommendation. And to further illustrate my point about the uneven gains and losses with big cams, ive heard of 224/230 cars taking down 306 cars on the street. (both having stock heads). i dont know about you but i like my torque

thats about what i want right there, except ill be at 355 ci when i rebuild with the CC503 and port the stock heads. so what would that be 345-350hp tuned?
I have had the 306 cam for a yr. now. I love it, but it isn't really a fun dd car. the brakes go to hell. need to run a vacmuum cannister. will have surging. will lose tq. down low. but there is one thing to fix that. a 3500-4,000 stall. but if I had it to do all over again, I prob. would of went with the cc503 on a 110lsa. I love my tq. and now I miss mine...so in my opinion I would run a 503 cam on a 110-112 lsa. it will be a much better dd cam.
I think you need to do a little more research and figure out what kind of setup you want for your car, since the hotcam and 306 are incredibly different and really shouldn't even be considered in a comparison except for totally different applications.
