it was either summit of jegs who used to sell the hotcam kit for 500 a while back(2-3yrs). I am not which, but is there any reason why you want that cam opposed to something like a xe 224/230?

I ask becaus the hotcam is a very old design, im not saying its bad, but there are many newer grinds out there which would produce more hp, same mpg, same driveability, etc.
So why would you want to settle for less when you could have all the good things about hotcam in another grind with more power. You see my point?

depends on how fast you want the car to be? with that setup you just posted you will be in the mid to low 12's easily. i guess it depends on how fast cars run in new jersey. but mid to low 12's for sure
