Would it be possible
I was thinking about how to save money when putting in a CC306 (or a similar cam). I thought about buying the LT4 Hotcam kit and using everything but the cam and switching it out and then selling the LT4 hotcam. Would the component in there work with a CC306 or a similar cam? I am trying to be ready by the time for Gathering 9.

i'm not sure on the cost for hotcam kit parts but i dont think that it would be that much more to just buy the comp cams (or whoever) parts for your setup. you can get the valvetrain parts (minus lifters) between $400-500 and it might be a little better suited for your setup.

Do it once and be done with it until you throw in a stroker 
I know people who went with the hotcam and loved it, it was perfect for them, BUT then agian i know people who went with the hot cam and are kicking themselvs in the *** cus they didn't go bigger....ever consider a 230/236 112lsa? :-D It sounds pretty mean on the street.....as for the hot cam kit, i could be wrong but i think its $500, for the extra $200 or so i'd go with a cam of my choice and buy new lifters, springs, and timing chain. Personaly...i'd try out a custom cam from Bret Bauer or Joe Overton, they dont only deal with high hp motors, they also deal the guys who street their cars....
