Red- 98 Z28
Even more gains with Hotcammed 98 Camaro
Mods - LS6 intake, BBK 80mm t-body, 85mm GMAF, ASP underdrive, Whisper airlid, K&N filter, SLP 1.85 rockers, Borla catback, Flowtech longtubes and Y, Vinci tuner, GM Hotcam (the cam that supposedly doesn't make power and is a waste of money. Buy a 224 because it's cool and i READ on the internet it makes more power.....)
Sitting on 413hp, stock 98 heads......Last edited by Calico; 01-15-2008 at 11:11 PM.

Oh, I personally have no problems with the hotcam. Is it to small? Yes, for me it is but it fits for some people. You can't really make a post like this bashing on the 224 unless you dyno'd both cams. I notice you have 1.85 rockers which would put you really close to a 224 on the lift side anyhow with stock 1.7's and the duration numbers aren't way off either. Now add up how much you have in the cam and rockers and then look at what a 224 costs and you probably didn't save a whole bunch of money. Not bashing on you, 413 is awesome with the hotcam on stock heads. I'd love to see what you'd make with a bigger cam and some good heads. The combo you have now obviously works for you, just not right to bash a well proven cam because your one car dyno'd well.

Gotcha...thanks for the props. Not really bashing the 224, but there are some here who think the 224 is the ONLY cam worth buying. Not calling any names, but it shows if you build a car with the right parts you can get excellent results. I beat 224 cars by 3 car lenghts regularly...not saying it's because of the hotcam, i may have a "factory freak" car. Plus my idle is down right sick, sounds much more wicked than a 224. My torque was 417.

Well, KyleLs1 seems you are up on your game. I too find it hard to believe the hotcam put that much power out. The use of the 1.85 rockers and the tune is the major factor here.

Guys we are talking about the hot cam, we all have different opnions on our cars, I personally want the most bank for my buck... But if everyone had my car the same way I would hate life...
