Default ZZ4 cam upgrade

I would like to upgrade the cam in my ZZ4, but not do a whole lot else. Any suggestions on the best cam? Thanks

DB,

His ZZ4 is a roller cam, with .530 max lift capable.

The GM hot cam kit (with roller rockers) is a great bolt on upgrade.

I had to edit it, I had a roller cam bookmark that would have worked well for the ZZ4 but the link under the bookmark was a good cam for a Vortec head and intake swap application. Now I can't find the other link...probably didn't save it.

Wow that's an impressive package.

GM's Hot Cam (LT4 Cam) is a great addition to the ZZ4. That cam along with some mildly ported heads got me into the 12's .
