Are you an M6 or A4? Your time is solid with the Hot Cam. To ask how much better your times would get with the other cam is hard to say. I am sure it would be better but without knowing your other mods it is hard to tell how much better...

My thoughts exactly. Do you have any headwork done??? That will play a big part in how well your cam performs.

Any cam would benefit heavily from a good headjob. If you wanna go bigger and get good results, you will need to open her up a lil. The heads that is. Having a big cam with basically stop heads wont get you near as much as you should.

Low 12s/high 11s are doable with that 230/236 544/555 cam, stock LT4 heads, a dyno tune, and all the other mods you have. Just get a nice torque converter and some sticky tires. Good luck.

Well if you get a Torque Converter... 3500ish Stall you will be all over the low 12's with a sticky tire. No matter what cam you run a torque converter will definately otimize the cam but as stated head work is pretty important too, unless your me then you only gain .03 hundreths with GTP's on the same HOT Cam set up. 12.30 to 12.27..
