Question tpi zz4

i'm thinking of modifing my tpi with accel runners bigmouth intake and bigger throttle body , do you think it can support a zz4 350 with afr heads, also thinking of later putting a blower on it what do you think of this combo, or should i just build a blower motor

Well this sounds like a trick question to me but i'm going to try and give a straight answer.....

It depends on the overall combo. If you're getting rid of the ZZ4 heads and going with AFR's then its not a ZZ4 anymore, right? With that aside, I would say that the blower will need a cam suited for a blower application. If you use the stock ZZ4 cam it will work ok, but it won't be optimal....

Talking sorry worded the question wrong

meant to say if i use the zz4 short block and either the afr heads or aluminum fastburn heads, what i trying to do is build a nat. asp. motor till i get the $ for the blower, if i use the shortblock and fastburn heads with the lt4 hotcam will this be a good combo ? also can this cam work with the supercharger or will i have to get another one?

yep, you'll need the complete forged rotating assembly and some good pistons for your base. your cam would work, not well though with the other options out there.

a blower motor is a separate demon, you can build it to withstand the power and change a few things here and there when your ready but it's going to cost you more in the long run. save up and do it right as either way the venture is expensive.

personally i would just pick my parts right and try to make that power n/a.
