Yes,I searched Hot cam+2.73`s and got ten pages of both hot cams and 2.73`s seperately .Most people change gears before cams it seems.

I'm not sure what your questions are but the Hotcam cam kit is a good cheap way to get a few ponies and it would be nice to have some 3.73's. What kinda power are you looking for?

I would like to know if the loss of bottom end torque from the cam combined with the lack of torque multiplcation from the 2.73 gears makes the car feel sluggish and slower than stock?

Ran that set up for about 8 months. It DEFINATELY did not feel slower than stock. Never got to the track with it so I dont have times. But it sure wasn't slower than stock or sluggish at all.
