I think my car dynoed 325 rear wheel with about 340 ft-lbs way back when I originally installed the LT4 hot cam along with 1.6 RR's and Hooker shorty headers. I was pretty happy with the numbers at that time. It was only AFTER I did an ECM reprogram that I really understood how much dyno tuning was good for. I went from a REALLY rich 325 rwhp (along with a 13.60 at 102) to a clean smooth 349 rwhp with 355 ft-lbs (as well as a 12.89 at 106+ mph). Some people might disagree and say its not needed...but in my case...ECM and Dyno tuning was worth quite a bit to my car.

 

How much did they charge to install the kit?

 

it aint cheap

 

Thanks for posting the data about results with the HOT cam. I doubt you will see another 25rwhp, but good luck anyway.

$1300

As far as 350....I prolly won't make it but I know some people on here who are close....so that gives me some hope

 

How much does the kit cost and where did you buy it from

 

505 shipped from gmpartsdirect.com

damn you got jacked. $1300? did you shop around for pricing before the cam install?

 

I got my Hot Cam kit, Headers + Y=pipe, Lower Control Arms + Relocation brackets, wires, plugs, and transcooler installed for $800

 

Just installed my hotcam/headers and ppd heads.
Changed all the seals, even the rear main seal and installed SLP clutch.
I have a idle dropped that appears to be from my Idle Control Motor. Pulled it and it full of carbon with cracked seal. I dropped of the seals to my mech today for the throttle body and Idle Control Motor. I'm anxious to put some miles on the new clutch then get it to the track for some numbers.

[B]It woulda cost less but a bunch of stuff went bad that they had to replace.........

 

i was under the impression my hotcam kit would give me 50-60 more HP.this is alot of work for 25HP

 

With header combo it will.
Since you are there, get head work also.

 

It gave me 35....and if you do your own work spread out over 4 or 5 days it isn't that bad.....not that I would know, but that's the impression I'm getting.

 

The HOT Cam's awesome, not sure of the real numbers that it gives you but the Cam along with full exhaust gives you a good pull in power.. My buddy has a Hot Cam Kit in his 94' 1LE and that cars one of the top dogs in our area.. The car runs low 12's @ 113mph, what more can you ask for out of stock heads right? The Mustangs in the area all spray him with 150 shots just to run with him, granted some beat him by a little and some get beat but for having just a cam and exhaust you can't beat the power gains for as much as it costs..

I drove his car more than once and its alot more than i expected, not to mention the 100 shot he has to barey them stangs, they spray 150 at him, jump ahead a car length, then he sprays them with a 100 shot and jumps out 2-3 car lengths on them
