Default About to invest In these mods for my 94 lt1

1) SUPER STOCK yank 3600 4L60E/4L65E....price 675
2) PaceSetter Longtube ceramic Headers........PRICE 389
3) Y Pipe...........PRICE 115
4) Holley 58mm Throttle Body............PRICE 419
5) DruRic 69-0322-1 ..410 gears.........PRICE 181
6) 36lb Fuel Injectors.........PRICE 321.95


Grand total of 1810.95 + about 200shipping= $2000

This is what is needed for the lloyd Elliot Lt1 combo heads and cam, so Iam putting this on the stock ride(150 shot of nos, wont be sprayed) untill I save up another 2000 for that.

What do you think?

I think you can get those headers for $10 cheaper with free shipping from one of the sponsors.

BYUNSPEED is one of them

Well Iam hoping if everyone agrees that this setup is fine, then I will have the sponsors bid on my buisness so to speak. Iam buying all at one time, so if a sponsor can give me a better price then another Iam all for it!

IMO TCI does not make a good comnverter, you'll replace it later so do it right now. I'd go Vig then Yank. Gears is a 10 bolt are OK, if you plan on hitting the track it's a gamble. Save for a 9" or 12 bolt instead.

What brand injectors are you going to be running? I would make sure they are flow matched.

Forget the 58mm TB and buy a quality converter. You can have your 48mm ported to a 52mm down the road, which is more than enough. You won't need 4.11 gears if your going to spray. And if you do buy a nitrous kit, why wait until you have the H/C package?

4.10 gears will require taller tires or something done so that you don't shift into OD in the 1/4.

I hear nothing but bad things about TCI converters.

Also, with the LE heads/cam $2k sounds like LE3s right? LE3s you will probably want a higher stall. More like 3600. From what I've heard Yank is best for stalls that high.

your going to want some sticky tires also. you dont need to buy a throttle body. make sure you match your stall to your peak torque. im sure an auto guru wouldn't mind elaborating.

+1 on the over kill injectors. If your running stock internals and not boosting with a turbo or SC the stock injectors or SVO 24# injectors will work fine as on the LT-1 the SVO injectors are actually rated around 27-28# with the higher 43.5 psi we run. Consider the fact I am running a 383 with SVO 30# injectors and that is plenty for my setup.

I already have a kit installed on the car, have for two years. I have not sprayed in a year.

But with the H/C combo lloyd Elliots site says 58mm.

I have 17s with a 275 tire up front, and 17s /11 inch with 315's in the rear.

Yes Sir the LE3s, So a 3600 it is. Thank you.

For the H/C Le3s they suggest the 36lb fuel Injectors, just trying to get everything out of the way.

That's fine but IMO you are wasting your money on 36#'ers. Most of the people here would agree, unless you are doing some serious internal mods.
