Default Where is the cheapest place to buy a hotcam kit???

Just like the title says, I'm looking for the best deal on the lt4 hotcam kit, and was wondering if any websites sold them for a better deal than others. Also, are there any other parts needed besides the ones included in the hotcam kit?

And by any chance does anyone know who does cam installs in the DFW, TX area?? Thanks.

Don't know about other 'required' parts at that stage, other than maybe some gaskets, but there are certainly some "suggested" things to do i.e., port matching the heads, rocker arms, valve springs, and maybe a new timing chain. Keep doing your homework, though, and you'll eventually get all the right info.

Oh, don't forget an ECU tune to maximize the benefit from the new cam...

well the kit includes the cam, valve springs, and roller rockers. i'm on a limited budget, so no heads. I also have unlimited pcm tunes from pcmforless.

Corvette and "Cheap" are non sequitur.
