gmr's are for the m62. i think the only cams zzp has are their turbo cams. or those for the 2.2, but i'm not sure.

wrong gmr cams arent just for the m62 and zzp has 3 stages of cams for the lsj with the gmr cams your going to have to set the head up for solid lift lash adjusters

you're going to need to do some valvetrain work with any cams. and yes, the gmr cam is a blower cam..

If you plan on keeping the car blown, whether it's M62, TVS, or Twinscrew... I would go with GMR's.

I'd use them myself but I have another car I am dumping money into now.

Probably not, unless a company like ZZP wants to buy them off you for regrinds.

Go with the stage 2 or 3's from zzp. If your gonna have the head off the car might as well go big. It's not going to be a huge difference in DD like you would expect from the average v8 with a big cam.

Being DD is of opinion. What I think is a DD might not be doable for others.

I know some people that say they can't even DD a car with solid mounts.

ZZP doens't regrind, they use billet blanks, so idk that they would buy them back, so in answer probably not.

Well if zzp has billet blanks then you should be able to get someone who actually knows how to design cams to grind you some off of ssp blanks.

If you go the GMR route, you can go with something like BLE Ecotec solid lifter kit that is adjustable and requires no machine work.

Cost would be about the same.
