I don't know what to do. I was going to get an NOS kit and then I chicken'd out. I feel somehow it would be cheating to get the NOS kit. Now I'm thinking of some heads and a new cam. That way, the power would always be there. I have stock heads and a HOT Cam installed right now. I'm trying to get into the really low 12's or high 11's. I'm at 12.46 right now. I was thinking of some heads around $1700 and the CC306. If I do, can I still use my heavy duty GM timing set? And, do I need new push rods? I would be doing all the work.

 

I would go H/C. No excuces of Bottle pressure too low, or no juice, ect. I like the "all motor" route though. You can reuse the chain if you want unless it has a lot of miles on it. You should not need to get new pushrods, but if you do, get chromoly. Better safe than sorry. I would spend a little more money on the heads and go with some CNC AFR's. And look into the extreme energy I think cam grinds. The group with the 503 line. The 306 is a good cam, but I have heard a lot of people putting down good numbers with that 503 cam. Then later, spray it.

 

If you sell your LT4 hot cam, let me know!

 

Put in my vote for heads and cam. Although if I was you I'd probably keep the HOTcam for now and through some heads on there along with a good dyno tune.

Do the 306 w/ ported heads and the spray!

 

Thanks. I don't know if I want to keep the HOT cam because I don't think I could go high 11's with it. Plus, if I have to do all that head work, why not a bigger cam with some serious power. Allthough, the HOT Cam is reliable, I don't drive it much anymore. twice a week mabe. I do like the AFR idea though. I have heard good things about AFR.

 

Well I say keep the HOTcam cause I'm a lazy bastard, and I don't like swapping more things than I have to. But good luck on whatever you decide!

If you want to go w/ a more agressive cam go w/ the 306, you should have done that in the 1st place...i say u keep the LT4 get those heads, or port yours and get some spray...your cars already fast....

 

Maybe I will keep the HOT cam. Thanks for all the replys.
