Hay guys my friend has a 94 z28 and he wants to do the lt4 heads and cam. i dont know who to get him to believe me that the lt4 conversion is not worth the money hes going to spend. last time i dynoed a camaro with a lt4 conversion it only made 30 Hp with pcms for less tuning it. and he still dosent believe me what should i do.

Just take a picture of his face when he first looks at the dynograph after the conversion. And then say, "I told you so."

So how much is the LT4 kit going for these days? Tell your friend to give Lloyd a call or buy a box of tissues for when after his dyno numbers pop up if he goes with the LT4 package.

sounds like a plan i think i will take a picture of his face when hes looking at the dynograph that will make a great birthday card

last time i looked 3500 for the lt4 kit and i think for a LE stage 2 kit it was only like 1500 or a little more

Just show him this thread after it reaches a page long of people saying that he's A) foolish (I'm being nice lol) and B) not worth it compared to other options. For the price of the LT4 kit, he could have a 355 built and a Cadillac Cam with full exhaust, even with the stock heads, and make more. Yet SITLL be under $3500 I bet.

LE2 requires accommodating mods, being full exhaust and a tune, to make those numbers, but still that is also well under the cost.

+2. I think Edelbrock has a LT4 conversion package for a similar price.

I'll admit that when I was stupid (a long long time ago) I considered the conversion, but a quick search informed me that it was not the best bang for your buck mod by far.

the 2,600 dollar one is the edelbrock one, thats what its priced at in the jegs mag, it comes with heads intake cam, lifters and rockers.

Still a waste. Go with a Lloyd set up. Less expensive and better power gains.
