Anyone using the ZZ4?

I was curious if anyone else is using the ZZ4 right now. What carb are u useing? Do u have any times? What are ur mods? Things I should expect. I am planning on swapping a ZZ4 in my car and converting to carb with a Speed Demon 750cfm vac, secondary. Also have to get a holley 7psi fuel pump with a Mallory return line FPR. Sound good so far?

A lot of people are using the ZZ4, although I'm not one of them

The carb you're talking about sounds fine. You should be able to use the TBI in-tank fuel pump and just add the regulator like you say. I've heard people talk about a temp sensor fitting size problem (smaller on ZZ4 than stock).

If you're anywhere near sea level, you should be in the 13's if everything else is up to snuff.
