Which cam has more under the curve power? cc503 or hotcam?

My goal s to get a cam that works well with stock heads, has good driveability, no huge loss in mileage, and a under the curve powerband thats consistent to around 6k. peak power isnt all im going after. im looking for more power across the board.

but theres a problem, im on a semi-tight budget.

ive talked to many people and they've almost all pointed me in the direction of the cc503. it has basically everything im looking for and it works well on stock heads.

the other direction is going after the hotcam kit for the simple fact of $$ saved.

how much better is the cc503 to the hotcam? does the cc 503 make more power everywhere or just at peak? which makes a better daily driver? how much more would it cost to go with a cc 503 instead of a hotcam?


and, if possible.. does anyone have dyno charts of each on a bolton, stock heads lt1?

You can put together a cam kit for the CC503 for the same price of the HOT cam.

It's a better cam throughout the range.

I made 330/325 on a Mustang Dyno with my cc503 cam with stock heads.

Car makes great power down low and up top. Haven't had any problems with it and I daily drive it.
