Default Hotcam backorder

I have been waiting on the hotcam or the kit for quite some time. Does anyone have any idea what the hold up is?

The Hotcam I had in my LT1 was a dream. I daily drove my car for 2 years, would go to the track and click off 11.2's all day long with a little spray. Is edlebrock contracting someone to make the cam?

I haven't had any real problems with any of the cars I put spray on. I sold the LT1 last summer, but I'm friends with the guy that has it. He drives the crap out of it and it still runs like a champ.

For off the shelf cam, I would go with cc503, driveability and
performance.
