I just got finished installing the LT4 hot cam, and Bob's LTCC setup in my 94 Camaro. I got it started and well, I'm kinda paranoid. I'm about to hook a scanner up to it, but I figured I'd ask. I was told that a Hotcam wouldn't change the sound of the engine much. This thing is loud! (Could be because I'm not used to hearing it in a garage.) But it's just as loud as my brother's camaro with a cc306 cam.

Don't ask me why, but I'm always paranod about timing. even though I don't know how you could screw up timing on a 4th gen, the fact that it's louder then expected, and the fact that it to more cranking to start makes me paranoid.

Will somebody tell me to shut up.

 

Shut up

they have several LT1's w/ the LT4 hotcam!

 

I just installed the hot cam kit in my '94 Z-28. SLP headers, gutted cat converter, stock factory cat back exhaust, pcmforless tune. The idle is about 950rpm. The exhaust is only slighty louder with a slight lope. My other '94
Z-28 is bone stock with gutted cat converter. The hot cammed Z-28 is louder but the headers contribute some, overall there is not a major difference in exhaust noise level. I really like the hot cam, SLP and gutted cat combination but my preference is throaty exhaust note and a little less noise.

 

i love the way my hot cam sounds through headers and 3" pipes while its in gear at a stop light, idleing at about 750rpm...makes local rice look the other way

 

Dan.. if that came is as loud as your brothers... thats kinda loud for a hotcam....
and his car is in MY garage.. lol, i've heard hot cammed LT1's before and it's no where near as loud as dave's car.

 

Ahhhh.... you stole my brothers car!

 

Shut up.

 

My brother in law has a hotcam in his 96 SS, and it sounds bad a$$. Especially through his SLP totl exhaust. After hearing his cam, I had to get a cam for my car.

 

Does your brother have headers? I'm not familiar with this LTCC setup you speak of...LT headers? What catbacks are on these two cars?

 

My brothers car is a 383 Lt4 with a CC306 cam. Mac short tube headers, !Cat, and a flowmaster exhaust. It one of the most impressive sounding car I've ever heard.

Mine has a stock manifold and a flowmaster exhaust. I don't really like the way it sounds.

 

Thank you

 

i really cant say in comparison cuz nobody around here has hopped up LT-1s, but i know my car sounds much more agro than it did before the hot cam...

maybe the guys that said it wont sound much different than a stock LT-1 have some fatty cams but i sure can tell a difference.

ive got a sound clip....ill try and send it to you later....

 

I've done the LT4/Hotcam conversion on my Vette and even with no mufflers it isn't that bad. You can tell, but it is pretty mild.

With a bump in idle speed (850-875 for my auto) you should be able to hide most of the lope.

If you'd like a crappy, loping, faky idle then drop it down to 550. That should impress the 'tards.
