I just finished installing the hotcam kit in my car. all went well everything is buttoned up nicely, however i have one question for you guys. Is my idle supposed to sound near stock? it has a small lope, not much at all. idles smooth, no ses light, not running hot, is this normal ?

 

Mine sounded stock as a rock, until the Lt's and all. A friend had one with some shorty headers. When he opened his cut-out, it chopped like crazy. I think the exhaust make a difference. Have you got it tunned yet? I recommend PCMFORLESS.com. Stopped my car from dying every time I hit the brakes.

 

I have bbk shorties and a 3" borla on it. it is a "little" choppy. i mean you can hear a slight chop but nothing extremely noticeable.
actually it doesnt die when i try to stop at all, no cam surge, i dunno maybe it should be this way. heck im happy it runs lol...
i was just curious. thanks for the reply man

 

Yeah, the little chop is still good. Makes ricers have to guess what you have before they run thier mouths.

 

HEH, teh ricers here drive tricked out escorts and neons, (no not the srt-4) lol
there is one guy with a freaking wrx that runs decent.
most cars here are mustange and f-bods.
thanks for the reply again!@

 

I thought I was the only one , I have LT's and ORY, and it sounded no different, infact when I pulled the old cam and layed them down side by side I couldn't tell them apart (lobes looked all the same) but then again its not a radical cam, but it makes very good power mid range and up...I got pretty much what I expected, I only gained about .4 tenths in the 1/4 without tuning on a crappy 2.1 60' time.

 

My friend's LT4 HotCam car was REALLY quiet. Its good if you wanna be sneaky, like suggested above. But me...when I go cam...I wanna be HEARD! Gotta have some lope!!

Aside from the sound, you should enjoy the HotCam...one of my friend's brother's car was deep in 11s on HotCam, and another guy I know runs upper mid 7s in the 1/8th with one.

 

Mine is barely noticeable vs stock. It's great if you want to have a sleaper. PCMforLess tuning is outstanding for the hotcam. It's worth the money.
