Advance doesn't sell GMPP. I searched the web for a cheap GMPP LT4 hotcam kit and found many that were cheaper then Summit. I would check all the sponsor sites and see what they charge first. Always best to support the board sponsors when ever you can IMO.

Stroker is 1000% correct don't mix and match you will spend more money in the end, and never get the results you are after. Thats why GMPP offer such a total complete kit.

Think of it this way. The guys at GM Performance parts do this everyday, for longer than us. They know better than you and I what works with there cam. Know what I mean?

 

iight well that is settled then lol...well let me try and find a cheeper hotcam kit...

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...ew=1&N=700+115

thats it on summit...550+shipping

 

http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...23689_-1_10707

couple dollars cheaper (536+ shipping)

 

is that the same cam? ive checked a few of the other sponsors...one actually is asking like 640 for it

 

tbyrnemotorsports.com is asking like 640 for it, pretty spendy.
im 99% sure that is the same kit, it says its for a LT1, you could always call them and double check

i tried to froogle it, but had no luck
after the results of my next compression test, i am actually probably going to run a hotcam kit until i have the 4k or so for my rebuild.

 

i believe it can be found cheaper through jason or sam, i forget what their contact info is though, just search for cheap gm parts

 

Shoebox has jason and dal's info on his site.

who are they?

 

Internet sales representatives for dealerships. Jason Cromer is for Sam Taylor in Florida I think and Dal (cant spell his last name) is for VanDevere in Akron, Ohio. Both sell many GM parts at much lower prices than other dealerships. I got my WP, Opti, and LS1 tranny mount from Dal. They used to have internet sites for pricing, but I dont think either of them do anymore.

I'm running the LT4 Hotcam. It's a good cam for someone who wants near stock drivability, with a little lope and is on a budget. If youre really on a budget, like I was, the cam can also be purchased individually. The cam, springs and supporting valvespring hardware can all be had for around $250. Any mail order tuner should be able to pretty much nail the tune for you first go round as it is a popular cam which has been around for quite some time. You can always come back and do rocker arms later on.

I am personally running my stock rockers. I am loosing a bit of lift, but I somehow managed 322rwhp and 333rwtq on a Mustang dyno through headers and a 3" exhaust. For comparison's sake I put down 278rwhp prior to the cam install on a dynojet... which typically read higher than mustang dynos do. I've seen people running this cam dyno up to 345rwhp through a 6 speed with stock heads, 1.6 roller rockers on a dynojet.

 

The Hotcam kit is a bargain and it works well with otherwise stock parts. I'd recoomend it for what you are planning.

Good info, I always wondered how well the Cam alone ran without all the bells and whistles. Steve you have any times on your car?

 

Not yet... I havent had a chance to get down to the track. I havent had the cam in that long I just dynoed it about 2 weeks ago. Hopefully I will get a chance to run the car this friday. I'm no professional driver though... I'll be happy to cut a 2.0 60' on my street tires.

 

ok so i can run it without the roller rockers? I dont mind upgrading later, but that 300$ish difference will mean the difference between putting stock manifolds and getting headers or a catback.

ill have to find someone with jsut the cam and springs then

thank you all for hte info!!! I like these forums people are actualyl helpful

 

Just save up the money and do it all right the first time
