For the LT4 Hot Cam Kit with the springs and rocker rollers and everything, how much tim am i looking at for install ad about how much will the install cost me? Also, is the Hot Cam worth the money?

 

its a great kit! youll be looking at around $500 from a discount parts dealer... do a search for Jason Cromer and find his phone # for the best prices. as far as having it installed...i have no idea but maybe $800 if you are lucky or help out??? thats just my guess... you could always do it yourself

 

The hotcam kit is a great kit for the $$ if you want a cam but nothing to extreme. With tunning it offers a nice increase in HP and still drives close to stock. As far as the amount of time to install it, it really depends how much experience you have doing this. Also, how prepared you are as far as gaskets, tools, parts, etc. I took my week of spring break last year to do it but that was taking my time, and asking lots of questions on here everytime I got stuck or wasnt sure. It was my first time ever doing something like this. Now that I have done it, im pretty sure I could do it over again within one long day, or for sure one weekend.

Also, will i get a good "cam" sound from the hot cam? I really want that rumble. I have a decent cat back (2OTL) on a 96 SS

 

As far as the exhaust tone and "rumble" thats gonna come more from your exhaust setup. The cam will give you the loping sound. I would suggest you do headers before the cam. That will also help out on the sound.

Yes you will get a good cam sound. Headers are a must too. You are probably going to shell out around $8 - $1000 for a repitable shop to do the install. I am sure glad I did it myself successfully.
