Hotcam kit into 12s?

I have decided to go a different route with my car. Does this setup look like 12s?

Lt4 hotcam 218/228 525/525 w/1.6
crane gold 1.6 rockers, Lt4 valve springs
52mm ported TB w/ Air foil
373 rear end
Lt4 knock module
pacesetter Lts w/ ORY
magnaflow catback
eiback sportline spring kit
billstein shocks
Bmr LCAs
panhard bar
lt4 Knock module
subframe connectors
strut tower brace
1le intake elbow
Kn CAI
pcmforless mail order tune

Also, if I got the 275 size z06 rims, would it effect speedo?

Re: Hotcam kit into 12s?

Right now I'm hitting 12.9 and that is without my 3.73 gears and suspension mods. I figure mid 12's are possible next year when I have my 3.73's installed and some suspension work done (1.8 60 fts. with just Et Streets).

The Eibach sportline kit will more than likely kill your 60 ft.

Re: Hotcam kit into 12s?

What would you recommend for springs that has a good balance of street and track performance(road coarse, and 1/4 mile)?

Hotchkis springs have a nice balance. I cut 1.57 60' with these springs. They drop the car 1"

Re: Hotcam kit into 12s?

you should see mid 12's with some suspension, i got a 13.1@106 last weekend, with the worst conditions you can think about, my suspension was sat up completely wrong, full tank of fuel, 2.73's and launching at idle.
60' was 1.8x.

Edit**
forgot to say that I was runing on the stock tune, stock shift points and really bad fuel. :s)

Re: Hotcam kit into 12s?

I would say low 12's easy. I am running a 12.5 at 107 on the hotcam and similar mods. except I still have stock 3:23 gears.

Re: Hotcam kit into 12s?

Does anyone know where the cheapest place to get the Lt4 kit is? ( I saw a post from 2002, and the kit was in the mid $300s. What a great example of how our economy is rapidly going to sh*t)

Re: Hotcam kit into 12s?

I paid $600 for mine through Summit and that is with all the gaskets needed, oil & filter, coolant.
