w/ a 230/236 112 cam, do i need lt4 timing set?
I just realized that I cannot change to the lt4 timing chain w/out switching out the sprockets as well (or thats what thunderracing told me). So I am at the cam in my cam install... w/ this cam, do I need a stronger timing set, or will a replacement lt1 chain do? any quick advice is helpful on this subject.
thanks,
Eddy

so, if im keeping w/ the LT1 set, should I get a whole new sprocket set (which I cant really afford) or should I just get a new LT1 chain? thanks again..

at the very least, get new stock sprockets/gears.....and new stock timing chain.
you can afford it.....it should be around $50-60 for all of it............would you rathing pay a little now? or a whole lot later when your old chain snaps or gears break off a tooth and you fug your motor up?

thanks a bunch for the quick replies first off.
I went to the local scoggin dickeys today and picked up the full lt1 timing set (crank and cam sprockets and lt1 chain).
My question now is how many miles could I run on this timing chain before putting in the lt4 hd? I dont want anything in there to break, and I eventually will do heads as well.... maybe I should just change it out when I get the heads?
thanks again...

I dont plan on running it past 6200 rpms personally.... If I could peak by then I would be happy. might my shorty headers make it peak a little more than that? longtubes might need to be next...

(Double roller won't work with the stock water pump)
If not it has to be a stock replacement or an LT4 extreme duty.

If I remember correctly, the TC that cmotorsports offers doesn't require an elec WP...
