But, with reground cams and sleeves it becomes a real beast. You've never experienced the torque curve of a DOHC motor, have you? Once you do, you'll likely notice how "peaky" any SBC really is!

Paul,
Thank you for your insights. As I will be having my local speed shop do the work, How would I order this up? Ask them to regrind the cams and sleeves and they know where to go from there? Is that going to run me more then 6K?
Yes this will be my first ZR1. I am really looking forward to it.
