Never fear YoshiBear is here! LoL
ok as far as the cam goes :
( Sorry if this is a bit random but its just the way my brain works..or doesnt)
The kit is made by comp cams ( ...or was it crane?) for GM who then puts there stamp on it
The cam has real nice streetability, Just the right amount of lope for a daily driver and doesnt seem to have problems with cold weather or anything like that. And you cant really beat the price for three very critical valvetrain componants. The question is...what is your car gonna be? a daily driver, a sunny day car or (uGH!) a trailer queen. For a daily driver I wouldn't go much wilder than this cam, a little bigger maybe but not much.
I had this Cam installed by a shop along with some bolt on's ( intake and exhaust stuff) and I dyno'd 300 rwhp but keep in mind thats without a computer tune or the proper size injectors and that makes a big difference. You WILL need a computer tune otherwise the car will run rich but you CAN drive it without one so thats another bonus. Also doing this kit should let you raise your rev limiter at LEAST 500 rpm safely (complements of the roller rockers). Another thing, if you dont do a PCM tune you'll notice that the motor is a complete dog in the low end but will run like a raped ape once you get past 4000 rpm. A computer tune should take care of that though. I havent had my computer tuned yet and with the stock rev limiter a cant even reach peak horsepower, you can feel the car still pulling hard when the rev limiter kicks in.
If I could do it over again It would depend on my cash situation more than anything seeing as to buy 1.6 (or 1.7 ) ratio roller rockers, a slightly larger cam, and the same springs would cost something around $700-$800 (depending on what from who) where as the whole Hot cam kit is only $550. Bottom line Im very happy with the cam kit but if you've got money flying out the exhaust pipe you might want to shop around for seperate parts to crank out that extra 10 hp.
I never ran at the track with just the cam and exhaust so I cant help you there. But I have run against a few bolt on SS's and everytime I get the same question : WHAT THE HELL DO YOU HAVE DONE TO THAT THING! so yeah, it works
With a good track day I think the hot cam kit will cover everything you want. Hope that helps
