Im looking for a cam that i dont have to mess with the heads to use. Will this work? If not what would i have to do for it to work? What kind of power gains should i get with it?


350 ZZZ Cam specs.. Lift- .480/.480 w/1.5 rockers, 235/235 duration, 114 Lobe Seperation

Wouldnt this work pretty good??

Thanks,

Jesse

 

no you'd still have to mess with the heads

 

There really isn't too many cams you can stick in there that you don't have to change the springs. Why don't you just get some 1.6 rocker arms to increase the lift of the current cam?

 

It still has the stock cam in it and i didnt think that would give me much of anything. Would just gettin 1.6rockers help that much?

Yeah because the duration on the L98 cam is pretty decent already; what it's lacking is some real lift. If you stick some 1.6 rockers on, you get an instant gain in lift numbers.

 

Whats your guess to power id gain? 5hp? 10 hp? ect... Im tryin to run 13s consistent. My best so far is 13.99. i usually run a 14.1- 14.2


Thanks, Jesse

P.S. A stall is in the NEAR future as well.

 

That cam is only medieoker. GM only used it in their crate ZZZ
or ZZ3 motor for a little while. The revised ZZ4 cam with 208/221
.474/.510" /112 makes just as much hp and a lot more usable torque with better mileage too.
The ZZ4 or the "Hot Cam" are better GM factory choices for power.
All cams work much better with head mods.
Air flow is where it's at. Get out the Die grinder.
All these cams require specific improved valvetrain components
to work. The stock stuff won't cut it here.

 

You could add a set 1.6 rockers to the ZZ3 cam,then you'll really feel it..
