zz409 cam

I just got off th phone with a guy at TPIS and was asking him about the mini ram. After we get done hashin out what you need for the mini ram I ask him what cam he recommended running with it. I told him I had AFR 190 heads and it was for a 91 350. He said the best cam would be the zz409 and a 52mm Throttle Body.
I also told him that I wanted a strong engine but would have about a 100 shot on it if I needed it.

I have heard of alot of guys using the zz9 cam with their mini ram but I was wanting to know if anybody have used this one?

I personally havent used it but since I live 10 min. from TPIS I have seen some/ heard some engines running that combo and it puts out some really nice numbers. I cannot remember anything off the top of my head though. Sorry now that I think of it this is a pretty worthless post.

Re: zz409 cam

how well would this cam run with a edelbrock base and fully ported SLP runners and plenum with a 52mmtb? think it would make 400crank?
