Looking for someone with ZZ3 engine, or ZZ3 cam and aluminum heads

I wanted to talk to people with a similar combination as me to discuss what mods worked for them, and what the result was.

I run a L98 with Edelbrock RPM heads, ZZ3 cam, stock ported TPI with 52MM TB. This is a MAF setup.

What parameters did you change that provided the biggest impact to your performance?

Thanks for your time.
Mark.

Have I run your exact setup?, No.
Have I talked with folks running similiar set ups yes.
If your heads are the small chamber ones (ie in the 50s), you'll want to run like 28d total timing at WOT.
Another item is dumping the MAF and going for the 90-92 MAP system.

My heads are the performer rpm (#6089's) 64 cc chambers. My combination yields 9.75:1 static compression.

I choose the MAF originally since it was more pleasent in dealing with modifications without a prom change. Obviously I am past the point of a stock prom.

Your recommendation is to ditch the MAF and go to the SD setup?

I imagine I will work with what I have and keep my eyes out for an ECM for the newer ones. I know I can find them in a variety of places. I am not sure of the wiring and pinouts. I have not researched this yet.
