LT4 Intake Question.
I would have conducted a better search but I am in a hurry, gotta take my daughter to school. So here is my question. Is the LT4 Intake Mani worth the cost of one? Just asking because I was tossing around the idea of buying one to swap in. Just as a small fun project. Thanks you

yea you should def search more, becuase for the price of the LT4 intake you will see extremely minimal gains, getting the stocker ported will yield better results per dollar without a doubt, now if you plan on doing some serious porting in the future then maybe the LT4 intake would be a good idea as it has more material to work with, otherwise if youre going to buy the LT4 intake which is kinda expensive, i'd just pay to have the stocker sent off and ported by either LE or AI. both very reputable names for our intakes.

if you do choose to get the LT4 intake, i believe you would also have to get the LT4 heads or get the lt1's ported because the ports dont line up correctly between the LT4 intake and LT1 heads

Sweet, thanks guys. I had a feeling it was not worth the money. I knew I if I went with the LT4 Intake I would have to Port Match it to get it to fit. Now what about a whole LT4 Kit? I think Jegs sells them.

ok same thing about the LT4 kit. just go all aftermarket. not factory upgrade. the factory upgrade ends up being more expensive and does not yeild near the same gains.
check out Llyod Elliot or Advanced Inductions Websites for Head Cam Intake Packages that will far surpass the LT4 kit stock and will cost about the same if reasonably done.

The LT4 intake is INTERNALLY the same as the LT1 intake, so it would not be "very little gain" or "a loss" or any of the other guesses.
It has more material above the ports to seal to the taller ports that are in the LT4 heads, this extra material interferes with the valve cover rail on the LT1 heads so it can not be bolted on unless you machine either the heads or the intake and if you do machine either there is NOT gain because it is the same internally anyway and if you machine the intake removing that extra material you basically make it an LT1 intake.
GIZMO was good enough to post this picture a long time ago and I have linked too it countless times but you guys REFUSE to learn and get the information straight.
