    Question: Converting an LT1 into LT4 Hot cam setup

    I liked the Hot Cam setup. mainly because it was not too wild and noisy. I am running the LT 4 heads, 1.94 exhaust., etc.. I originally posted about this setup earlier this year but wound up having to redo it because the original mechanic almost destroyed the motor. After the car started...

    Question: Converting an LT1 into LT4 Hot cam setup

    Has anyone changed their LT1 setup to the GM Performance LT4 Hot Cam Setup? Though the promos guarantee 425 crank HP,to insure I get there, I am also going with a bigger TB, 58mm vs the 52mm, 32 lb. injectors vs. 24 lb injectors, the Edelbrock LT4 Intake, Hooker Shorties, K&N air filter, .030...

    Question: Rebuilt my LT1 and need answers. please

    I believe that I did the second option when I sent out the specs on the car about 6 weeks ago. The place I got it from took every new spec of the engine and with all of that, burned the chip that now sits with the stock PROM. The sheet I had my friend / mechanic turn in, was a very thorough...

    Question: Rebuilt my LT1 and need answers. please

    I got the correct PROM even though it was discontinued by GM. I put it in the car and finally the car makes power from low to high RPM. It is a wild little small block. Ironically I blew a header gasket Friday so even though it feels great, it doesn't sound as sweet as should. Thanks all.! Bob

    Question: Rebuilt my LT1 and need answers. please

    Well it seems I got a lot of really great information here and I can't thank those who helped me enough. I think after all the advice I received, I found the culprit that keeps the car from achieving it's peak power. Whomever owned the car before me put some Hypertech chip in the car. When the...

    Question: Rebuilt my LT1 and need answers. please

    Whatever I felt on Wednesday, when I first took it home, is nothng like I felt last night. The car, now with over 400 miles on the engine, sprung to life. I took it on this one road and when I stepped into it on Wednesday night,felt a little more powerful than before. Last night, on the same...

    Question: Rebuilt my LT1 and need answers. please

    The LT4 has smaller intake valves. 184cc. I can't find the rest of the info but I do know about the intake valves being 11 cc smaller than the heads for the hot cam. Check please, if you do not mind, what the stock LT4 Heads have again. You are right though. The best way to find out is by...

    GM Performance sells, for around $2,750, a package that includes the heads, cam and all the goodies associated with the cam. The heads are a notch or two above the original LT4 heads.

    Question: Rebuilt my LT1 and need answers. please

    I am using LT4 Hot Cam heads, which are, for lack of a better description, an upgrade from the standard LT4 heads. I chose not to do any work with them because I felt the HP numbers I was promised were right were I wanted to be, not any higher. As I drove it more today and approached 300 miles...

I went with an LT4 Hot Cam Kit, including heads, 58mm TB as opposed to stock 52mm, 32 Lb. injectors instead of 24 lb. injectors, Edelbrock LT4 intake, Hooker shorties, Borla cat back exhausts and a K&N air filter and a new chip burned for...

    1/4 Mile times for the LT1 (92-96)

    Out of curiosity I wanted to find out what a stock 93 LT1 six speed with a set of 3.07 gears out back would do. I found several different results. The most intriguing one said 15.1. I found, on the opposite end of the spectrum, 13.56. I raced my friend's C5 convertible and whipped him...
