A little more info would help in this situation. What was your combo to get 360whp with a hotcam?


my heads are stock with "some porting", they still have the stock size valves. my guess would be they are just under LE1 heads as far as performance goes.

i have ALL of the boltons which helped me to get 360rwhp. altho it was thru a Moser 12 bolt.

52mm TB, hooker LT's, custom y-pipe, no cats, Borla cat back, dual cutouts, pulley, PCM4less tune, 1.6 rr's, K&N CAI.

oh yea, a B&M Ripper shifter

Mine put down 339 on a mustang dyno through the stock manifolds and untouched heads. I don't think 350 rwhp would have been out of the question, even with shorty headers.

Yes, still over here in Clovis. Haven't been on this site in a long time, but I'm bored and waiting for 4:00 to roll around so I can head out the door. SOMETIMES, I actually miss my Z.

*ahem* back to regularly scheduled posting..

Hotcam Expectations

I had Edelbrock Shorties, a catback and an FIPK. I added the Hotcam kit and got 40 RWHP over my last dyno if that helps.

I just added longtubes and am wanting to get it dynoed again for a better number.

hotcam is fun for a while. if there is even a thought that you may upgrade your heads in the future-choose a larger cam. i have been running mine for 5 years with an lt4 top end setup-it is a lot of fun, but i wish i chose a bigger cam. if i ever get these lt4 heads worked, im thinking a LE cam.

Awesome. I'm no dyno racer but that would have been well into the 360s with a stock 3.42 rear and stock alum. DS. Love the track times though, especially for stock heads.

Thanks, I've always been pleased with the results I've gotten from this little cam. That's some collection of rides you have, very nice.
