I was just about to post something similar to this... I have done some research as I'm looking for a cam for my ZZZ motor. I'll post a new thread as not to hijack this one.

The LT4 hot cam's lift is .492 with 1.5 rockers. To get the .525 you'll need to upgrade the rockers to 1.6 which will also require a spring change. Here are other cam specs I gathered. The ZZ4 cam noted below is the same as the ZZ3.
