That particular motor says "pro street/race use". That is diffinately a big cam for street use in a 350 (.562" lift). I personally would stick to the ZZ4. But, I've heard only great things about the Fastburn 385 with the "Hot Cam" kit. GM says these 350ci's are putting out around 430hp. Not bad at all for a perfectly streetable motor. Just some food for thought, I just ordered a 525hp 383ci from AR Racing for $4200 with shipping. It has a roller cam, Canfield aluminum heads, 10.5:1 compression (runs on pump gas), a completely forged bottom end (crank, rods, and pistons), and comes complete intake to oil pan and balancer to flywheel. An upside to the GM motors though is that most of them have a distributor, water pump, and sometimes a carb included. Good Luck with whatever you choose :cheers:

ZZ4 ZZ4 ZZ4 any day of the week. New is New and rebuilt is rebuilt no comparison. The ZZ4 will outlast any vette. Stick with a winner.

Thanks for the reply's.

So Ryan77, the engines from AR Racing are better than the ZZ4 and from what I see with your's about the same price.
Can you give me they'r site link.

Thanks

That intake would NOT fit under your hood amd it would KILL bottom end torque. The ZZ4 makes great power, streetable. 20mpg, and has aluminum heads.

I'd stick w/ the ZZ4. :thumbs:
