Thanks everyone for all the replies. I went to purchase a ZZ4, but some financial issues came around (anyone else have those?), and I ended up buying the 290-horse crate motor. Does anyone have a recommendation for a cam swap that would wake it up more, or should I just leave it alone and drive it? I'm thinking of putting my Weiand X-cellerator or Edel. Performer intake and my Holley 650 on it which may help a little as well. Other than that, just some engine paint and chrome dress-up items (more for me to clean).
Thanks again...

Call CompCams Cam Help line and have them make a recommendation. 800-999-0853. Have all of your car's stats ready. I am sure they are familiar with that crate engine. You should be able to pump that up to 330-350 hp with a different cam and kit.

Thanks Rum! I saw your other post as well. I was trying not to double-post, but didn't know if anyone would read the older one...

If your budget is tight, you might just install the crate as it is. Then, if you really need more power, start with the upgrades.
I put the exact same crate in my 69 Camaro recently. I was considering putting in a roller cam and rockers before I dropped it in, but some other unexpected expenditures came up. Sometimes, I wish there was more power, but I bet I would be saying the same thing even if I could have afforded the 502 Ramjet. With gas prices as they are, I'm glad I didn't put in the higher performance parts.
