LT4 intake debate has been going on forever. The LT4 intake simply has more "meat" for you to port with than the LT1 does. Outside of that there aren't any big differences.

Give us a call at the shop, and we can give you a few options to choose from. We have the best shortblock pricing out there.
400rwhp? thats all? i have seen guys with stock bottom ends with head n cam packages make right at 400 if not 400. im not knocking anyone or anything like that cause i dont know a whole lot about engines. i just thought it would be higher then that but i know that also depends on the combination of parts you go with

You missed the skank dyno part of his post they read more accurate then dynojet's(therefore lower).

Exactly as stated above. For instance a car that makes 400rwhp on our Mustang Dyno, makes almost 440rwhp on a Dynojet just two miles away.


The two read differently is all. So 400rwhp N/A on a Mustang dyno is no slouch. Hell the car runs mid 11's on motor.
