Default fellow zz4 owners....wanna upgrade??

Look at this setup! X-OTIC brought it to my attention....looks insane! Dont think this has been posted previously, so don't call the DUPE police on me if so! :D

Combo 102 is a GM ZZ4 350 cu. in. engine with AFR 195 heads and a Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam. With an 850 carb and 1 3/4 in. headers, this engine produces 506 HP and 436 ft-lbs of torque. This engine shows what that adequate induction and exhaust systems are imperative for more power. 3 in. mufflers could have helped a bit, though.

Displacement: 350 cu. in.
Carburetor: Demon 850
Heads: Air Flow Research 195, with 2.02/1.60 in. valves
Intake: Edelbrock Victor Jr.
Camshaft: Comp Cams hydraulic roller, with 0.562/0.580 in. of lift and 248/254° of duration @ 0.050 in. of lift.
Exhaust: Hooker 1 3/4 in. headers and 2 1/2 in. Flowmaster mufflers
Pistons: GM high-silicon aluminum
Rods: GM
Crank: GM forged
Ignition: MSD 6AL
Comp. Ratio: 10:1

MAX HP: 506 @ 6500
MAX Torque: 436 @ 5500
All of this is courtesy of http://www.ryanscarpage.50megs.com/combos14.html and is Combo # 102

that motor must have had some work to the pistons or at least different ones. how could you fit 0.562/0.580 in. lift in that motor otherwise :confused:

Surprisingly lobe design has more to do with valve to piston clearance than total lift. VTP relationships as the crank/cam goes through their cycles determine clearance. The intake is closest to the piston just after TDC and the exhaust one is closest just before it starts to close. I had a .667 lift roller in a 383 with six-inch rods with off the shelf pistons. It had mild lobes for street driving that were forgiving. Hope this helps.
