The lower peak torque rpm of the Hot cam is more street/autocross friendly IMO. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised to see GMPP start to offer LS shortblocks soon, so that you can pick a set of heads and cam without tearing apart the engine first to optimize it for your application.

I would love to see them offer a short block LS2 or LS3. Even a iron version. It would give the builder a better choice of parts to use without having to toss out or resell heads, intake and more.
