Easy low 11's in a C4 with that motor, and even into the 10's. It is an interesting combination.... I've seen the ZZX cam on several different builds and was seriously considering early in my build, but passed on it. No there's nothing wrong with the tq. I look at various feature builds and feel most like seeing hp. They also stated they did 3 pulls, so it appears they didn't go too hog nuts tuning. What software are you using to do et.calculations ? The zzx seems to produce good results, but after valve lash it's probably down to 235ish. I'm becoming more of a believer that at that point in hr.'s, the 242/242 solid becomes a good choice. |
