LT4 Hot Cam for what price?

I would like to get the LT4 Hot Cam (of course i have other mods in line) but...my real question here is...who has the cheapest price? Kits? What MUST i replace when i do this? Experiences? Driving around town? This isn't my daily driver anymore so i figured this summer i'd start modding some more. I am still decideing on headers, etc...btw, i searched for this kinda topic but nothing? i know for sure i have seen some topics on this.

If you know someone that works at a GM dealer (has a discount), you should be able to get it a bit cheaper than that price is after the shipping and handling.

that cam is too big for a stock motor spend your money on the intake first you'll see better numbers with the stock cam and modded intake than you would with a stock intake and modded cam

I have the LT4 HOT Cam in my 87 IROC 350 and I do have to say that is does need more intake to take advantage of it, and definetly lower gearing than I have now. If you have a 3.42 or 3.73 rear end and some intake mods then you will be very happy with the cam, if not, you will need to do those otherwise it will slow your car down. You will absolutly have the change the valve springs and the timing chain with it. I do know that when I install my new rear end and new intake, the car is going to rock!
