Where to buy LT4 valve springs at for the cheapest? I posted a WTB, looking for some used ones (this goes beyond budget build honestly lol) Also they will work with my stock LT1 retainers and locks correct
Anyways, where do i get some for pretty cheap? Thanks guys

Genuine LT4 valve springs might be getting scarce these days. IIRC I got mine many years ago at www.sdpc.com for around $40.00 or so. I used them with my LT1 retainers and locks with no issue.

this may sound like a stupid question, but what is the real diference between LT1 and LT4 valve springs? is it worth it to swap them? not the money but the time and work

cool cool, the heads still on my car but that isn't a prob for me, my car has 106k miles I think it might be time for new springs along with 1.6rr, that combination should make it worth the time right?

.510 INTAKE LIFT / DUR.@.050 .230 DEGREES
.520 EXHAUST LIFT / DUR. @.050 .236 DEGREES
LOBE SEPERATION IS II0
I just want something mild, nothing special, if not that one maybe a copy of the LT4 hot cam, the guy that sells that first one sells the LT4 copy for 120 bucks, I just want to feel the car a lil bit stronger

I looked into this earlier this year and it looks like the LT4 springs aren't the best choice for even a mildly cammed car. More than likely, you'll have to pick up some good springs from somewhere like comp if you plan on running an aftermarket cam.
Running LT4 springs with an aftermarket cam is almost like running 1.6rr's on stock springs, it's pushing it IMO.

And yes you will need the LT4 retainers with the springs. The LT1's wont work. LT4 springs are bigger round.
The LT4 retainers are very light weight compared the the LT1's, so much that you can feel it holding them in your hand.

Honestly the need for speed never ends ..and you would be happier in the long run with buying springs that don't need changed again when you decide that cam isn't gonna be enough for a fix next year...................
