I just put a ZZ383 with TPIS Mini Ram, Hedman mid length headers, 32# injectors, full exhaust with Borla multi core muffler, high flow fuel pump, and Street and Performance Integrator (converts the TBI injection wiring to multi port) in my 1991 RS. It makes 389 rwhp and 403 rwtq. Some people say the Mini Ram doesn't make torque but I have almost 350 rwtq at only 2,000 rpm. Check out the attached dyno sheet.
It is cam that came in the ZZ383. Same heads too. All I did was bolt on my intake and headers. Using stock ignition with MSD coil. I used to have same setup on a ZZ4 with hot cam and fast burn heads that did 360 rwhp and 340 rwtq.
Built my own 383 and used a Mini Ram. Seems to work good went 10.92@ 122mph in 1/4 mile. Best advice call Jim at TPIS these guys are great and will answer all your questions. Listen to those guys thew make you one fast car.
I'm running a homemade all forged 383 Miniram with ported TF heads, ZZ409 cam, 58mm tb, Hooker 2210 longtubes and Mufflex 4" cat back making 413rwhp and 398rwtq.

Damn straight!! I live like 15 min from them and have gotten a lot of help from them. More than willing to help. Helped me choose components and my 383 is a torque monster. Still have a lot to do but the test drives sure seemed good!
I bought the Mini Ram from www.tpis.com. I'll take some pictures but it looks like an LT1 engine from a 4th Gen Camaro. It is an easy swap and can be done with the engine in the car. TPIS will give you all the parts needed.
Look at my sig with my Miniram. It make very good power. No loss of torque.
Very nice! A lot of LS guys would like to have those numbers. And you didn't have to swap everything over. What did you have to do to pass the California smog test. I'm in CA as well so I can feel your pain with all the smog crap we have to put up with.
I'd argue that most of our cars are in better mechanical condition than the average car that's on the road today but, that makes no difference with the smog laws.
To the OP, have you experienced any oil consumption issues that some have claimed to had with the ZZ383? Looking at buying one but reading about those issues makes me second guess. Thanks
