It is in between the LT1 and ZZ4 cam....would it be good for a 305 with
1) Hooker Supercomp Headers/Y-pipe
2) DynoMax 3" Cat-back
3) Stock TPI intake ported to the Max, untill I can get SLP runners.
4) Ported Stock Heads

Eventually aftermarket igntion, and possibly heads(next yr)

It won't over/under cam it will it? Whould the ZZ4 cam be better.

 

LT1-.447/.459 lift 205/207 duration at .05 117 LSA
LT4-.476/.479 lift 203/210 duration at .05 115 LSA

 

thanks, OK so are you stating that the LT1 and LT4 cams are almost the same? I dunno.

 

No,I was showing the specs on those two cams.
I believe the ZZ4 cam is 474/510 lift 208/221 duration @.05 112 LSA. Some people say they are almost the same.

 

Is anyone running any one of these cams in their 305????????????????????

 

I have no personal experience w/ the ZZ4 cam in a 305, BUT people have told me it works great.

I haven't heard of anyone running a LT1/LT4 cam in a 305.

 

but what did they run the zz4 with...

 

The ZZ4 is a better choice. You're going to do a lot of work and swap valve springs anyway, might as well do it once and do it right. The LT1/4 cam would be OK as a bargain basement stop gap effort in a peanut cam car. Definitely not worth it in an L98 cammed car even for free.

 

My L98 runs much better with the LT1 cam.I'm sure it doesn't run low 13s, but I'll run anyone with a stock L98.

 

OK so the ZZ4 is not gonna over cam that engine....ok thanks....what kind of power do u think it will put out?

 

I'm not very good at guessing these thing but, I'll go w/ a solid 20hp. This also depends on what else you have done to the car.

 

camaro6spd, thanks for posting this thread... i have a 305 and im just reading everything... i just wana know if i put a zz4, what will i have to change... springs, lifters, rods and valves? rockers? and will the zz4 cam keep my car emisions legal? hey its NJ! i wana change the cam i was thinkin of gettin a cam out of a manual and get a different converter...
