at work we had to do plugs and wires to many time. being the gm guy i got all of them..lol


we used factory wires and had to put them back in the factory loom and holders. make it just like stock. shit took hours and i still pulled and power steering pump and alt. just to get to the pass side wires.


i still get nightmares

honestly, i say 93 is the best year...there is hardly anything in my engine bay compared to a 97. granted a couple mods helped with that aswell.

lt1's would have done much better if gm would have put the lt4 head on all of them.


i'm sure gm knew the heads are everything. i mean damn, even the impy heads are better.

Well yeah..... but then they wouldn't be able to sell the LT4 kits for them for the price it doesn't seen bad at all really, heads, intake, valves and springs, roller rockers, cam, and all gaskets...$2300 for 150 hp gain isn't bad at all.....and thats before any porting or head work........ I'm gonna have to go down to pontiac and see what i can get it for throught them.

A good port and valve job on regular LT1 heads works pretty good.

Yeah but a good port job on the LT4 heads along with the 1.6 rockers and LT4 hotcam is good too But as of now I'm not too concered about that, I just like the fact that i've been driving it for a week and a half and it hasn't broken down or I haven't had to fix anything...plus it gets better gas mileage than my talon did So far I like it, I have to order an adjustable panhard bar and adjustable rear control arms though, but thats not to much $...

lt4 hotcam is overrated I'd just go with a cc306

thing that sucks about lt4 heads is you HAVE to buy the intake or
the ports won't match up
