this post is dedicated to the "baby" cam... known as the HOTCAM!! just figured id share my results with the hotcam, in hopes to encourage people to BUY THIS CAM!!!

just got back from the track.... and it looks like this....


R/T .931
60' 1.93
1/8 8.27
MPH 87.66
1/4 12.6
MPH 112.20

yup... a 12.6 @ 112 i even surprised myself. ive been stuck at 13.1 with some traction issues, but finally got the car to hook! man what a feeling! i was hoping to at least break the 12's with a 12.9.... but a 12.6

for anyone considering a hotcam... GO WITH IT! yeah there are bigger cams out there, and you can go a lot faster than mid 12's.... but it all depends on what you want. i drive my car everyday! for $450 for the package, it really cant be beat!

thats about it! just figured id post since im thrilled!!!

HOTCAM

 

Well done, but I am trying to get into the 13's.. I might try the hotcam after some more bolt ons.

congrats dude. Who tuned the pcm?

I sold my lt4hotcam. When i get more money, ill get an other cam. I justed wanted to go bigger. But its proven that the cam will net you 12's. For the price you paid , you cant go wrong.

If you dont have headers yet. I suggest them next.

 

I wonder what that would get me in an a4??? I've got jet hot long tubes, k&n fipk(cai), true duals w/bullets, and some other little bolt-ons....anyone have any ideas? I do have nitrous express kit, but I'm talking n/a with home port and polish....

 

suspension and tires would help a lot, it's what puts it all down to the ground anyways
also, maybe some 1.7 rr's, nittos, and some lca relocation brackets would help a bit
go ahead and search the boards, plenty of info
the only thing holdign you back a lot is that you have a vert, a lot more weight with that thing, might want to reduce weight for the track if you want

btw, congrats on the time 1995redz28

 

killer times with the hotcam I'm waiting for the track to open to see what my baby cam will do I'm doing a head swap tomorrow and hopefully get the same times as you.

 

I'd suggest a TC with your A4, thats gonna be my next mod as soon as i get my current pile of part on the car

 

I think now i really should have gone with the Hotcam----I got now the Comp Cam Xtreme Energy 212/218 with .520/.528 with 1.6 rockers. Any " real" difference between the Hotcam and the Comp Cam Xtreme Energy 218/224 with .528/.536 with 1.6 rockers--Which way should i go? Thanks Dwayne

 

Don't worry, the XE218/224 is still a bigger cam than the Hotcam. Even thought the Hotcam is 218/228, it has lower lift and lazier lobes than the XE218/224(CC502). I'm a little confused by your message. Did you get the 212/218 or the 218/224. Out of those two, I would definately go with the 218/224.

The Hotcam is a great cam. I'm still considering it too because it's easier on the valvetrain than the XE grinds.

To 1995RedZ28, great times man! Most of the guys running very low 12's with that cam get 1.7 or better 60' times. Looks like you are right on track. Just a quick question. When you pop the hood, how loud is the valvetrain compared to stock?

Nice Times!!!! Congrats!

 

I need a hotcam now.

 

Great times! All from a cam that doesnt kill low end torque. Congratulations! What type mufflers are you running?

 

Sweet times. If you can weasel a 1.7 60' or maybe a 1.6 you'll really be flyin

 

good times dude. I am hoping for low, low 12's with my hotcam. we will find out soon. I have a high rpm miss right now

 

I don't know how my cousin's doing it, but he's running a 12.7@108 on the stock cam and manifolds. But he's hooking up great is running 4.10's in a M6.
