I have a 96 Z28 with a stock LT1. Summit offers a GM Performance Hot Cam Kit. It comes with an LT4 cam, roller rockers, and springs. Does anyone know if this kit would be worth it for $550, or is it worth it to even buy a kit? Should I maybe just buy the cam, then a set of roller rockers, a set of beehive springs, some hydraulic lifters, and all of the hardware seperately?

 

it is the cheapest setup. but you should do some research on this site to make sure thats what you want.

 

if you sure thats the cam you want then thats the best bag for the buck. what are you looking for performace wise?

 

it is a good kit for the price and it comes with everthing you need. As long as you din't have too many minle on the engine. you can reuse your stock lifters if you want or just go with some stock replacements from crane, comp cam, or speed pro.

You can but it piece by piece and buy better valve train parts, but you will pay more cash for them. Like the beehive and pro mag roller rockers. Awesome parts, but it will cost you more $..

If you decide to go with the hot cam kit, it is a little cheaper here http://www.sdpc2000.com/catalog/992/...mshaft-Kit.htm

Ps. summit will price match.

I'm looking to just keep on upgrading paycheck by paycheck. The more power, the better, but it's got to be street driveable. Thanks

I have only 47,000 miles on everything, so it sounds like a good kit, thanks.

 

I'm pleased with mine. Definitely a good bang for the buck. You will definitely feel the difference in horsepower.

 

what is your gas mileage with this cam?

 

Thats really up to you. You need to decide what you want in terms of performance and drivability. The hotcam kit is cheap but if its not enough power fro you then you may need to piece together your own cam setup.

 

you should look into loyd elliots h/c kits i wish i had gone that route.

 

And Ai heads and cam packages now too, as they are offering prices as low as lloyds.
