hotcam???
Im putting a hotcam into my 94z and im going to use the 1t4 springs with crane 1.6 rr's. My questions are:
1) Do i need to replace my bearings. I have 75000 miles on car, and its my daily driver? It seems that there is about a 50/50 chance on spinning a bearing with a cam install. I really dont want to replace them, but I do want to hear oppinions. btw I way a elect. wp.
2) Does the hotcam need to rev to 6500 rpms? That seems what most are reving to after my search. I kinda want to keep my rpms around 5800 to 6200.
I will be getting a dyno tune right after install as well.
thanks for you advice.

Re: hotcam???
I'm not going to say whether or not you should replace the bearings. I got mine replaced only because i had a blown head gasket so i just went ahead and got the whole engine rebuilt. I'd say it just matters how clean the install is. And no you dont have to rev to 6500 but you wont get the most out of it by only revving to 6. Right now i only rev mine to 6 since i havent got mine retuned yet.
So i hope that answered some of your questions.

2) my rev limiter is set at 6300. I'm peaking at 6K. But I'm also running stock exhaust.

Re: hotcam???
My mechanic said that If i want to do a cam swap, that i should just go one step above my stock cam. does anyone know where the hotcam stands, when compared to stock.

i think if you go less than hotcam u might be disapointed... since your spending this much on doing it make sure you get what you want for the longrun
