Sounds good, nice work. I got a zz4 350 in my 73 and its plenty for me on the street.

Thanks man - I went to watch your video - sweet - good luck with your 73! You'll find that ZZ4 is underrated. When I dyno'd mine after new cam, headers, RPM Air-Gap and light porting, (forged pistons with more compression), it dyno'd at over 470, with 500ftlbs, and that's before tuning the carb and adjusting peak timing. They rock!

[cherrynutz]

Oh an what RPM where you producing that horse and torque? Thanks again.

[Vet76man]

Hi again - The comp ratio is up to about 10.9:1, it runs on pump gas premium, np 36 max adv. The rpms - max HP at 5800 torque is flat from 2800 to 5200, with a peak at 4550. Hedmann long tube headers Camaro-like chambered true dual exhausts. I built it to be stout enough to take nitrous,so stay tuned!

Cool car. Wish my Vettes first start had gone that smooth.

[Vet76man]

Thanks Man - I just checked out your ride - that's awesome! Very cool.

[cherrynutz]

I think I remember seeing an exhaust kit that split into true duel exhaust. Thats awesome. I will be on the lookout for more.

[cherrynutz]

Awesome, with more compression what are you up to now? And can you still run on 92-93 octane without pinging? 470 and 500 on torque whew thats rolling. Thanks for watching my video by the way.
