I have a TPIS cam that I never used, I don't know if it's a zz cam but the spec's read;

Cam serial number 700-134
Duration at .050" = intake 221
= exhaust 230
lobe lift = intake .3027
= exhaust .3027
lobe seperation = 112
seat duration at .004
= intake .276
= exhaust .286
gross valve lift = intake .484
= exhaust .484
degree intake lobe to 106
seat timming int 30 BTDC 6 ATDC 106
seat timming exh 79 BBDC 27 ATDC 118

That is what it reads off the cam card, It's an exspensive cam but I'll let it go for $100.00 plus shipping.

Sorry but I just re-read your post and this is a non roller cam

Crane cams online has the cruise RPMs for efficent highway driving for their cams. You can match the RPM band you want to cruise in with your transmission and rearend ratios. Its at least an Idea

We put a ZZ4 cam with 1.6 rockers in a 383 Vortec engine we recently built. It pulls like a freight train well past 5K.
Kinda hard to believe that the ZZ4 cam has more lift and duration than the LS6 engine in the Z06, huh?
