thanks for the reply. I can get the hotcam kit for 490 delivered. I need to know anybody running this setup what lifters,pushrods, and timing chain did you use.names and part numbers, as I want to make my list out.I dont want to take any chances. thanks snareman

 

My cousin had the hotcam on his old 96 impala. Not sure exactly what setup he was running but i know he had the same exhaust and headers as me.. the thing was pretty nasty, and sounded awsome. I would think any longtubes would be fine

 

See mods in sig. As far as for pushrods, I just got a cheap set of hardened off ebay for $30. No problems yet and has been 6 months. The hot cam is not a drastic cam that will put enough strain on pushrods to bend them in my experience, assuming no other power adders of course. I have installed it in 2 different engines with these same push rods. Just my 2 cents. Good luck.

Oh yeah, still rollin stock lifters too.

 

Does this mean you cant take it on the highway?

 

I got my kit on ebay for 490$

 

i have the LT4 extreme duty timing chain kit, stock original lifters, and 7.2" pushrods(stock length)

i bought the chain and pushrods from thunderracing.com

 

Snareman....

You need to add a "signature" with basic info about your car.... year, model, tranny and any major mods. For example, the LT4 ED timing set mentioned above requires the 95-97 vented Opti.... so it won't work if you have a 93-94 and haven't done a vented Opti conversion.

 

Also kits are nice. However the LT4 springs are made for the lighter LT4 valves. They do work on a LT1 head but you can do much better in springs.

 

I was actually being serious about being able to take it on the highway or not.

 

i did the conversion on my 93 also did the opti conversion i would at least change lifters just to be safe i went with the comp cam lifters. The pushrods should be fine i do have hardend pushrods cause i have a 93. i recomend the pacesetter long tubes do to price and quality. I would buy a new lt4 timing chain for the added insurance and miles on the car. ps i did spin a rod bearing right after the install with only 99000 miles. also get a good tune

 

Yep, pull it on the highway with a Hotcam, and the car will self-distruct.

 

What they meant is that is an "off road" application, since it can't legally be installed in an emissions controlled vehicle. It does not have a CARB certification use, so you can't :wink: :wink: use it on public roads, just at the track.

 

I would go with a stock timing chain.

Get a good pushrod....summit has a good one under there brand that is cheap $85 or so in a 7.150 .083 cm

Get a better valve spring too...the springs in the kit are not very good. You will like that cam, its a good set-up IMO
