I live in the DFW area as well I'm running the LT4 gm hot cam with a built 357 and a 200 shot. Runs nice. Great idle. Just looking for someone to burn me a chip......lol

"agressive idle" then no question the LT4 Hot Cam. The ZZ4 would be hard to tell from a factory cam at idle.

I've heard the ZZ4 cam and it sounds pretty good. Obviously NOT stock to my ears, but not overly aggressive either.

I would be concerned about the powerband of the hotcam being so high, and still running the long tube TPI. Is that the plan?
