hey guys i am new to the whole lt1 thing. i have previously owned a tpi and ls1 so i have back ground in the bow ties. here my idea i want to put a lt4 hot cam in the car, i have the springs and rockers already i just need the cam ASAP. if any body has a good used on shot me a pm and pics if possible. now the problem should i repalce the opti while i am in there???????? i have heard mixed answers about this help!!!!

 

I see them at http://web.camaross.com/classifieds/...cat=3&ppuser=0
and http://search.ebay.com/search/search...1&ftrv=1&sass= all the time.

 

cool thanks for the info on the cam but what about the opti the car runs great with no miss or hesitation.
Any ideas for track times with the cam??? right now i run a 13.6 at 101. Thanks

REally, you should be running faster than you are.

And there are many other cams out there that give you more bang for the buck.

LT4 hot cam springs are marginal at best. Do a search on them. I would, personally, stay away from them. You get what you pay for.

If your car is only trapping 101 with full bolt ons, gears, etc., I would expect you to run like right around a 13.0 at 106-7 mph. For your mods, your car does seem to trap a little slow. Although the rims arent helping you, and I dont know if its a M6 or an A4 car ...

 

then your opti is fine.lol. you could do high 12's fairly easily with a hotcam. and IMO buy a new hotcam, dont waste your time on used mechanical parts especially things like cams and such.

 

cool thanks for the input guys. fyi my trap times might be a little slow due to the fact i ran at the lapeer drag way, any body who has been there know what i m talking about. About the lt4 springs the ones i have are for the hot cam kit. Do they realy suck that bad????

 

no, but they are designed for the hotcam and will do great with that, but not for other bigger stuff.
