Just got my LT4 heads and intake, just wondering what cam everyone is using with this set up....and how much RWHP they are pushing...thanks!

Sell the LT4 head and intake and buy a ported lt1 castings setup, you will make alot more power for the same price.

a lot more power? That's not the same as "make about the same power for less".

I see a large number of your posts here on the forum telling people how to build their LT engines and go fast.

However, I’ve never seen you post any times for your own car? You probably “dream,” I mean run 9s with your everyday-driver LT car. Right!

12.0@118mph in a full weight car with a high 1.9 60'. Hell an electric wp and some skinnies would have put it in the 11's @120+ in a full weight stock bottom end car. And my car is never going to 60' well with the supsension i have on it since I think turning is more fun than simply pushing a gas pedal in a stragiht line. And its kind of hard to get new timeslips when the motor has been apart since june.

But I guess your right, unported LT4 heads will make more power than properly ported lt1 castings.

If you're happy with ~330RWHP, then put in a hotcam. You'll be in the same category as most light-mod bolt-on LS1s.

Keep it simple.

this has absotulety nothing to do with his question

Ok, I'm on my 4th cam swap, 2nd head swap, I've put my car on the dyno over 10 times, and I probably have ~100 1/4 mile passes in my car. Does this not qualify me for giving advice?

baddboy1705

ok ANYWAY.......THOSE who have the LT4 set up... what cam are you guys running? I want the car street able as possible so a HUGE nasty cam is out of the question...lol just looking for something to have fun with on the weekends and take to the track and not be shut down by a dodge neon...lol thanks

So now you sell them for a four-digit cash price, and use the proceeds to pay for working some LT1 heads.

He asked a question. Enough people have pointed out that he should consider an alternative plan. He's indicated he wants to go ahaead with what he asked in his original post - use the LT4 heads. If you don't want to answer his question, don't bother posting, particularly wise-a$$ comments that are contributing nothing.

Why are so many trying to be this man's financial and build advisors?
If he has decent parts - which I think we can all agree the LT4 top end is decent - and just wants a feel for what cams work with this top end - why is no-one stepping up with a cam suggestion?
Sell this, buy that, my parts are better than your parts, bla, bla -

I have a great performing cam with my LT4 heads but it was installed before I bought the car.
If I get it apart soon I'll post the specs along with 1/4 times I should have this Saturday.
