Default When was Hotcam introduced?

Just wondering when the LT4 Hotcam was first put into production by GMPP. Also, if anyone knows the history of its inception, and any research that was done (if any) by GM to test the cam, and for what applications. All I've read is the same 2 paragraphs that GM has in all its catalogs etc.

The LT4 came out in 96 so Im guessing the LT4 Hot cam came out about the same time(Generally the hot cams or HO cams from GM are the test mule cams in the pre-production models).
