I started out with a 14.6 96.114mph and over 4 runs got down to 14.135@99.245 with a best 60' of 2.12. With these 4 runs included I have only gone down the 1/4 mile 5 times. My ZZ4 runs alot smoother now than it did then due to timing and a faulty holley.

I ran a 13.3 with the zz4 cam and a 12.98 with a HOTCAM.....your problem is going to be the 3.08 gears, but youll definitely be in the 13's IMO...
Let us know how you do!

I'm running a stock out of the box ZZ4 with 13.3 @ 103-104 trap speeds. (w/ a M-21/3.36, Holley 750)Your results should be similar. :yesnod:

Have fun!!! And Let us know how you make out! :cheers:

its all trial and error. start out of the hole at a mild rpm. shift at the same place in all the gears and keep track of the changes you make.
