No, it's not true. People just don't like the hotcam because it does not generate the peak horsepower numbers that they want to brag about. It is a perfectly respectable cam that makes excellent power.

It seems like a nice piece for someone not wanting to use fuel injection, but the dyno charts before and after arent a good comparison since they had valve float in both and then fixed it for the carb only. Also from the article, I assumed this was against an ls1 intake, so the gains weren't that great.

So the entire article was fabricated BS? (I don't doubt it, just want to know.)

Works great for me.

If someone wants to send me a 90mm LSx I'll back to back dyno it with tuning.

LOL.
