with head work only!! More like 320 - 330 rwhp Dont expect 340 or more, you wont see that.
My 96 Z saw 340 rwhp and 335rwtq. With heads, hot cam, long tubes, tune, cia, stall, gears (3.42's) It ran very low 8's in the 1/8th mile. The Hot cam is a great cam, you will love it, My Z was a neck breaker leaving the line.

Re: Hot cam kit

Yeah i know its not a large upgrade from stock, but it will be good enough for now. I figured i may aswell put the bastard in cause i got the kit. I originally just wanted to do valvle springs and rocker arms but then i thought, eh why not get an extra 25 hp by puttin it in lol.

Re: Hot cam kit

Where do u think it will peak hp now? IT says it will peak hp at 5500 rpms on the chart that gm gave me with that cam. I dont think thats accurate though, i would think peak hp would come in at around 6k.

my car peeked where it cut off 6400 and still climbing. it would only cut off because it would shift to 4th gear. The shop I dynoed it at was perdominatly ls1 cars. They were very impressed to see hp never drop off with the hot cam.

Re: Hot cam kit

You could expect about 320. From what I hear it's a great cam.

Re: Hot cam kit
