Re: Hows this cam (vettes rule)
Its already in my ZZ4. My dad and the engine builder talked and picked this cam, since im only 16. What top HP would this make? Whats its good points and bad points? When will the cam start to screw up with the idle?

You certainly won't have a problem passing emissions. Hard to guess horsepower just based on cam specs. I would guess it would be close to stock though.

Very wimpy as far as cams go. But i don't know at what point TPI without porting shuts down the motor anyway.
I don't let my 16 year daughter drive my vette without me in it. So maybe I should put in the same cam and it would be fine.

Re: Hows this cam (gkull)
The heads take me up to around 10.5:1 CR, and whatever rockers they put on wouldnt fit under the stock valve covers.
So this cam is pretty weak? Thought so after I opened it up some. About how much does it cost for a new cam installed?
TPI usually dies at around 5K, so I want to put on a Super ram when im going to college, with a new cam.
Also, wanna post pics of your daughter? :lol:

Re: Hows this cam (vettes rule)
Whats a much bigger cam for a super ram or mini ram ZZ4 and 3.54 gears, that is still streetable? Any idea on how much it would cost to have it installed?
