Thumbs up My Hotcam Kit........

Well, I finished my install of the GM Hotcam Kit about 2 weeks ago, and as usual, I had a few bugs to work out. BTW, thanks to the members of this board for all the useful information I found to fix my problems.

I waited about 40 miles to let everything seat correctly. Yes, i know there is no break in time for a hydraulic cam, but I just wanted to make sure. Today is the first pretty day we have had here in a while, so I took the car out for a spin and decided it was time to hammer it. WHEW!!! I am impressed with the upper rpm pull of this cam. It pulls like a raped ape to redline, and also has good manners in stop and go traffic.

Just thought I would share my positive experience with my fellow F-body owners.
Ohh, my mods are as follows:

1le elbow
moroso cai
bbk 52mm tb
bbk headers
borla
adj pressure regulator
granatelli maf
3:73 richmond gear
Built tranny with 2800 rpm stall
crane hi6s ignition
moroso wires
Nx wet kit 75 shot


BTW, does anyone have any idea what I would run at the track?
The nearest one is in Charleston, W.V. and it is only an 1/8th mile.

My little brother just installed a Hotcam kit and it is very

His mods are:
K&N FIPK
1LE elbow
PCmforless computer tune
ported heads (probably Stage 1)
Hotcam
1.6 RRs
chromolly pushrods
hooker longtubes
offroad 3" ypipe

That is it. He took that car to a local 1/8th mile track with ET Streets. he has no suspension mods. He lauched exceptionally well and about 40 ft out, he started roasting the ET streets. Now I don't think this is totally because of the power his car is making, but none-the-less it was definately a sight to see.

He also beat a Blown 98 Cobra from a roll and from a stop. Not as much from the punch, but from a stop was ridiculous.

He also has a electric CSI H2O pump, NGK plugs and OVC wires

The cobra also ahd full exhaust, so it was making very decent power.

You have an Auto or manual? If auto you should be all over the High 12's with good Traction. I hit with comparable mods a 12.90 with a 1.81 60'time. Now after stall you can see what a differenct it made. See Sig
