Any of you engine builders out there know if a crower 498/501 cam is a rough idle cam or a steady idle cam in a 350 chevy small block.

Engine Overview: ZZ 383 Possible Applications


The perfect small-block for your '55-57 shoebox

An 11-second starting point for your street/strip car

A street car that deserves big power

A weekend race car that sees a lot of action
Big-block-style power from a small-block engine!
If you're looking for a small-block Chevy that makes big-block power, we've got the engine for you! For the ultimate GM Performance Parts small-block crate engine, choose the ZZ383 � a combination of Fast Burn aluminum performance heads and a 383" stroker small-block that can add up to 425 horsepower and 449 lb.-ft. of torque.
A carefully engineered balance of torque-producing bottom-end power and horsepower-inducing Fast Burn cylinder heads combine for the ZZ383/425's stellar performance statistics. The Fast Burn heads have large 2.00"/1.55" valves and specially designed chambers that draw in lots of air and fuel, burning the mixture quickly and completely. It's a combination that generates great mid- and high-rpm power, which, when combined with the 383 cubic inch displacement, creates an awesome all-around performer.
The ZZ383 has a specially modified engine block and 3.80"-stroke crankshaft, which produce 383 cubic inches of pure performance. The reciprocating assembly is comprised of heavy-duty components including a 4340, nitrided, and induction-hardened forged crankshaft, and unique, heavy-duty powdered metal rods. It's 425 horses of bulletproof performance.
With the ZZ383/425, you get the power of a big-block with the size and weight of an aluminum-headed small-block.
If you've never driven a car with a stroked small-block and the top end components to support it, now is your chance!

Couldn't find it in dobber's spec sheets, but I'll bet it's way too much. Would probably have a very lopey idle and require at least 3000-3500 stall to get it moving. It would also prefer a higher compression ratio.

Depends on what vintage 350 and duration on cam and what heads or pistons will you run. Unless it's a stock replacement or what they call a RV cam it's most likely going to idle rougher being aftermarket type.

i will be using 1.94/1.50 heads with stock pistons; roughly it will have a 9.5:1 or 10:1 compression ratio

Too much cam for what you are using.

I ran a crower monarch with a bit more lift/duration but it was running 12:1 comp, single plane manifold, 750 Holley, hooker headers w/full 2 1/2 in exhaust in a 69 LT1 motor that was 30 over and balanced/blueprinted. The heads were worked over with mild porting, triple springs, with factory guide plates and screw in studs.

It did not "wake up" until 3500 rpm and ran strong til 7000 rpm. Below 3500 it ran O.K. but not real powerful. It would pull redline with 3.08 gears/L60 15 tires in a 68 camaro (ca. 165 mph).

I'd look at one of the 450/450 long duration hyd. cams they put in some HP 350s
