Hi all,
This upcoming spring, I am certain to install EM's LT headers onto my LT4. Currently, all I have done is an open air lid with K&N and Corsa cat back exhaust. With this set up, I have dyno'ed at 300.4 RWHP.
I am also thinking about adding a cam, but am worried due to several reasons.
1. First, I am ignorant on how fool proof a cam install can be from a reputable installer. Can an installer tell if something is not right immediately before I drive out of the shop and blow up my engine?
2. Most of the searches here reveal people who want aggressive cams with a big lope and rough idle. I want something damn near stock, but with some additional performance in ET's and MPH. Any suggestions?
I'm thinking of the LT4 hot cam, but have heard either horrible things about it or great things about it. Which is it for my situation? Remember, I want and need to pass emissions.
3. If I go with the LT4 hot cam, what else needs to be replaced if anything?
4. Anyone have a sound bite of a LT4 hot cam at idle?
5. Best place to find the LT4 hoy cam?
6. Finally, what types of HP increases and ET decreases can I expect to see with an LT4 hot cam and my set up?
Thanks in advance for your responses and thanks for the education. Like I stated, I'm pretty ignorant on cams, but eager to learn!!
I posted this thread also on CF (Corvette Forum) in case anyone visits that site.
