It's 24502586 for the cam and is $180 from paceparts.com or Dal at VanDevere Olds. Yes, there is a kit, and it's a pretty good deal if you need everything. It comes with the HOT cam, valve springs, roller rockers, and other misc. stuff. The LT4 HOT cam kit's part number is 12480002 and is about $520. GM Performance Parts also has a kit that comes with new roller lifters, retainers, the spider that holds down the retainers, and the bolts for the spider. I have the part number for that at home and I think it was around $160 from Dal.

thanks, but i dont think ill be getting one now, i did a search and there is some pretty negative feeback on the board about it being a cam for a higher revving engine, and i dont have the money for a superram or anything like that to balance it out, im only 17, so i think i might go for a compu cam from comp cams, but thanks for the info

Hey, StangEater, I am using the LT4 HOT Cam in my car, and yes, it is for sure a higher RPM cam, and if you don't plan on getting new intake parts, I would go with something a little smaller, maybe the ZZ4 Cam. However, if you have deep gears and full exhaust work, you can fully port your heads, get an intake base and port your plenum, and the cam will run like wind!
