Jorge,

If you're looking for a mild, inexpensive cam, look into the Summit Racing "ghost" cam. I use one in my Cougar and it works very well, although you will probably need a valve spring and pushrod upgrade.

That hotcam worked great in my car. Made about 425rwhp. I could even send you my tune if need be depending on your operating system and which ecu

I have a new, never fired LS3/480 (495hp) hot cam crate engine. I have purchased a Brian Tooley camshaft. My car is at painter now, but engine is out. Make me a reasonable offer.

Thanks guys!

I have a 2012 Camaro LS3 going into my 69 camaro. I have the GM ecu Kit for the 430, but I would like to install the hot cam only for the reason I can keep the stock valve train and want close to stock drivability. I sit in traffic for an 1.5hrs I need something that will just idle and drive nice.

Mark I will send you a text.
Thanks,
Jorge

The ecu is a e67 tuned for the 430 stock cam. Hopefully it can easily be tuned for the hot cam.

when buying a LS3 crate engine, you have three options of power LS3/430, LS3/480 and LS3/525.

LS3/430 is basically the production Camaro/Corvette engine. The LS3/480 is the same engine with the GM hot cam. And the 525 is the biggest cam (don’t recall what cam)

most of these cam are still mild compared to today cams from any of the big name cam companies. I just want to run the stock valve train and have stock like manners with just a little more power.

Hotcam and my tsp stage 2 runs just like stock except more power. If you have a gmpp controller with a e67 ecu I have a tune for both

That would be fantastic!

I bought the GM ls3/430 harness and ecu and Mark is selling me the hot cam from his crate motor to run in my LS3. If you could share a tune to get me started that would be great!

Thanks,
Jorge
