can't find any thing in the search about the power band of the hot cam , or what rpm it should make peak hp,tq or best shift point. I know heads , exaust, flow will play a factor in it, can anyone help?

 

GM says the HotCam works the best between 3000-6500rpm. I have the hotcam, and I would say that is true. My car doesn't have a lot going under 2500 rpm, but after 2500rpm, better hold on. I would recommend shifting at about 6000-6100 rpm.

 

I shift mine at 6,500

 

I had mine shifting at 6000 rpm but didn't like it. Now I have it at 6400 rpms. Don't know if it helped at the track but I like it.....

 

Mine's set at 6200.

 

mines at 6500. Ed wright told me this too.
I have stock heads and a A4 with a vigilante and mine put down
329rwhp. I agree, below 2500 if you don't have a stall or the right gears it's lacking. When I had 4.10's and no vigilante the car ran even better.

 

Mine made max power at 6200. It dropped off by 1hp at 6400

not to steal this thread, but what about the CC-306??? with P/P heads, 2.00/1.56 valves???

 

I think you should shift at 7500rpm, and if anything happens (how likely is that.....), you should sell me those heads and the cam for really cheap.

 

I don't think I can do that.....

I have my shift point set at 6200rpm, and 2-3 set at 6400rpm..is that too high??

 

With that cam and the heads, I would say that is about right. You don't want to push our good old 2-bolt main blocks too much.
