Tourqe curve of ZZ-4 cam in TPI

This will probably be the cam of choice for my rebuild this month, How does it do on tourqe curve? Good ? Bad? Peaky? TOO high?

88GTA,
I'm running this cam in my engine and I'd say the torque is good. Compared to the stock cam I'd say it is a little lazy in the low rpms, for example, in OD at under 2000 RPMs. But from 2500 to 5500 it has much more power than the stock setup.
I believe it would be even better with some chip programming.

In your sig it list the ZZ3 cam is this the same cam? I thought that one is like 222/222 degrees or something, not 208/221 like the ZZ4 one?

ZZ3 and ZZ4 engines use the exact same cam, 208/221, .474/.510 and 112 LSA. I used one in my previous engine, 280 HP and 380 TQ.
