this would be for pretty much a stock motor(only mods in sig). i am not overly concerned about HP #s, due to the fact that i cannot afford all the supporting mods like heads etc.... my budget would be around $1000-$1500 what would be my best, most practical option?

p.s. please include everything i will need

 

Id get the hotcam kit. Great street manners, best sound of the cams nearest its specs, good price, and kit has all you need for basic install. If you want to step up just a little, id go with cc503. It has a little better idle, and makes a little more power. After that you start sacrificing good street manners for power.If you want heads to, check out le1 package. A lot will have different opinions. This is just mine

 

another vote for the hotcam because its cheap, but if you want to spend a bit more do the 503 for sure. both will lope hard, even order the 503 on a 110LSA which can be done quite easily from comp apparently.

 

Just get a good exhaust system if all you are interested is sound. No offense, I hope, but that whole concept screams "rice" to me.

Rich

 

I would recommend the Hotcam kit as well, it has some lope to it, good street manners, good power increases, and it has basically everything you need.

 

what should i expect for gains with a complete lt4 hotcam kit?

 

I'de go custom...

 

what is so "rice" about liking the sound of good cam lope. if could afford to do a complete head and cam upgrade , then i would be looking for something with real good HP gains.

 

Are you capable of installing the cam? or do you know a buddy that will help you for a 12 pack and $50. Because if you don't the install is going to eat up a lot of your budget.
Many have said the hotcam for you because you can get the hotcam kit(500). You would also need a timing chain, gaskets, other misc. items. Around 200 in extra parts, then a pcm4less tune 100 and you good for 325-345rwhp. It will get decent mpg's, sound good and you don't have to rev it too high. Leaving you with enough money to pay to have it installed by a shop.
If you can get it in there for $50 and a 12 pack you would have money left over for a dyno tune and custom grind cam. A better choice if your budget allows for it.
Also you should give more infomation about what your looking for to get better answers. Your intial paragraph is quite vague, there are many people that could offer much better advice to you than me, if you present you questions better.

 

i will have about $1000 just for parts. i have already talked to a mechanic i trust and he will do the whole job for $500. this is a DD so streetability is important. Brett and a couple others have suggested the cc 503. if i were to go that route, what other supporting parts will i need?

 

do the cc503 or a custom grind cam..... Joe O Cam's look very impressive

 

I have a friend with a CC306 in an auto car, 3200 stall, and 3.73 gears. He used to drive it daily, he pulls 25 mpg on the highway out of it. And it sounds MEAN and will run!

is this the cc503 kit i would need?

 

I didnt even know Comp made packages like that.

 

Is smog a concern?
