ZZP ported head/cams
ZZP ported head/cams
Well im looking into puttin a little money into my car over winter and was thinkin of doing the zzp ported head with cams. Do you think this would be a good choice. I planned on doing valve springs anyways and i know i dont have the proper knowledge to do them so i would of shipped my head off anyway. If i didnt do this i would just send my head to get valve springs and retainers put in and maybe get it ported

we could do the timing we just dont have the knowledge for springs never mentioned not having the tools. My friend took his lsj head off and put it back on and everything so probably be the same with my head

What do you mean knowledge? There is none. Just get a valve spring compressor, compress the springs, remove the keepers that hold the retainers in, and remove the valve springs. Reverse process for installing them....

Well, then this is your decision then, not someone else's. You decide on the steps you want to take. If you know someone who can do the timing right then go ahead and do it yourself. ZZP's head will probably be better for you though. I decided I wasn't going to get a ported head just because it wouldn't be worth the work since my power goals are only around 425-450whp. If I was shooting for 500whp maybe, but thats just stupid. I'd always have to run slicks.
A fully built motor is gonna cost like 3-4 grand. Im just looking to up my power a little bit im not trying to go past 500-550 then the car comes completely useless
i thought zzp pushed their to 550 before it blew up.
Edit-it says 625hp in the title

Where is this coming from? There are people running more than 625 whp on stock LSJs?
This bottom end is completely stock. Stock block(no girdle), stock crank, stock rods, stock pistons. It has ZZP S2 cams and ZZP valvesprings. The turbo setup is our normal LNF upgrade kit with a S259 extended tip turbo. The fuel system mods include our modified fuel pump cam lobes and our extra injector kit, as well as an in-tank pump upgrade. It is running on E85 from the local Mobil station.
