Need Some Help?????
Alright guys this is my first post even though I have been reading this forum for awhile. I have a 2002 RCSB Z-71. It has the ls1 fans, 145 amp alternator, magnaflow catback and tb by-pass. I am searching for a cam. I have a friend who is going to sell me his ls1 hotcam for $125 if I want it. I use this truck as a daily driver and to pull my 21foot bassboat on the weekends and I am not sure if this would be a good cam for me. I am tryin to do a budget buildup but, I want the truck to perform well. Will the hotcam be a good choice for the money or would the 01 ls6 cam etc., be better?
Thanks
Thanks

1st off welcome to the site. i think you'd barely be able to tell a diff w/ the hot cam, but if your on a budget, that might be the best since i'm sure that cam doesn't require tuning. comp cams are pretty popular around here as well as thunder racing. look at the cam thread page for some ideas.

It is also on a 112lsa. I am really nervous about the drivability of the hot cam and need plenty of opinions about towing with it? Also if anyone knows about how the mpg will suffer?
