Default Is anybody familiar with the ZZ430 crate engine?

Not the origional but maybe the one like from :
PACE Performance - GMP-12496430-1 - GM ZZ430 Chevy 350CID 430HP Crate Engine

I think thats the engine i have.

I am wondering if the is anything i can do to get a little more performance out of it like maybe a cam change or something?

If it was for myself I would order a standard bore stroker kit for the one piece seal block and just hone the cylinders and assemble with the 3.75 stroke crank and go from their. You could reuse the heads cam block and every thing except the crank rods and pistons. Never a replacement for displacement.

Well its a perfectly good engine, i dont really want to go that deep into it. I was thinking more like a cam change, bigger intake etc but not sure how much bigger of a cam i could go.

For the $300+ for the hyd. roller cam and $200+ for the new intake your only about $300 short of the stroker kit. I would just stroke it and leave the rest alone.
