If your CR ends up the same. ZZ4 heads makes your engine the same as a Vette L98 TPI with alum heads.
ZZ4 cam worked great for me but likes intake mods; big tubes , ported plenum and base to get the best out of it

Re: TPI/ZZ4 Question
I believe L98 w/ iron heads is 64cc so the 58cc head will raise your compression somewhat
Also consider
Needs new intake to match but it is a big port intake saving you having to do the intake mods
