ZZP 3800 Supercharged Cams

ZZP cams have custom designed lobes to maximize the performance of your 3800 engine, ZZP cams make more HP at the same duration and lift than other brands. We hold every record in the 3800 market and have done extensive research on ramp rates and cam profiles, more so than any vendor on the planet. You can know with confidence that these are the very best grinds available in the market.

The VS-RPM cam is designed for use on totally stock heads and can be used with all stock components up to 6k rpm. It is recommended to upgrade valve springs to increase performance and allow shifting over 6000 where peak power is made. PCM programming recommended. If the engine has less than 100k miles, then the stock valve springs can work if you keep the shift point at 6000rpm. However we recommend at least the 90# valve springs and Retainers that we offer.

• 206/216 at .050"
• Intake Lift .320" (.512" lift at 1.6:1 rocker ratio)
• Exhaust Lift .317" (.507" lift at 1.6:1 rocker ratio)
• 115 LSA

2021 Update: Introducing the XP-RPM cam! The XP-RPM cam is the same XP you know and love with tighter tolerances for better high rpm valvetrain stability. Standard camshafts in the market have lobe flutter causing power losses in higher rpms. In normal circumstances this doesn't affect performance but, in some vehicles,, over 6k rpm we see variation in measured dyno HP. Measuring the base circle on a standard camshaft, we can see several thousandths of height variation. The valve should be closed but minor rises on the base circle can create valve harmonics and minor opening when the valve should be closed. The RPM version of our camshafts are ground to tolerances reducing base circle variation from several thousandths to a ten thousandth. The result is a more stable valvetrain with more HP above 6k rpm in the 3800. 

2021 Update - 2: After the huge success of our XP-RPM cam we have now introduced our VS-RPM cam! Made with the same tighter tolerances of the XP-RPM this VS-RPM is the perfect cam for your street car. 

We highly recommend running 136# Comp Cams valve springs, ZZP Modified retainers, ZZP lifters or Comp lifters, ZZP Custom Pushrods, (To determine what length pushrod you will need. We recommend using the 'Lifter Preload' method that can be found on the lifter page. We also recommend purchasing the ZZP Pushrod Length Checker to assist with this.), Rollmaster double timing chain, Extra thick front cover gasket, and Machined oil pump cover.

 
The X-P HOT cam is designed for supercharged or nitrous applications on 96 and up GM 3800s. The XP cam produces higher WHP and torque numbers than any cam grind currently available (that can be used with stock heads). Look for gains of 40-55 hp depending on your car's current configuration. We highly recommend running 136# Comp Cams valve springs, ZZP Modified retainers, LS7 lifters, ZZP Custom Pushrods, (To determine what length pushrod you will need. We recommend using the 'Lifter Preload' method that can be found on the lifter page. We also recommend purchasing the ZZP Pushrod Length Checker to assist with this.) Rollmaster double timing chain, Extra thick front cover gasket, and Machined oil pump cover. The XP is popular for top swaps and GT bottom end builds. You can run a smaller pulley with it than you can the VS. Peak power is 200rpm higher (than VS).

We highly recommend picking up our Cam Install Kit when installing a cam. It comes with all of the basic gaskets that you will need to complete the swap.
