Ok I have an LT1 in my 96 Trans am, Now ive seen the LT4 conversion kit in Summit and elsewhere and i was wondering how many of you have this conversion kit and what your thoughts are about it.... Im thinking about getting it but i thought id ask you all first. thanks

 

honestly i'm curious as well...

interesting enough check out the LS1 -> LS6 Conversion.. According to the adds the Lt4 conversion will out produce an LS6 Converion... LT4 > LS6???? Weird...........


Anywho yeah i'm really wanting to hear whateveryone else has to say.

 

i havent done it, but i would say... GO BIGGER!.

 

It's not really worth it. For the same price ($2500) you can do the basic bolt-ons and an LE2 heads/cam package from Lloyd Elliot and be putting down ~415 rwhp. The LT4 package will only get you ~360rwhp.

 

Yeah I am going to agree with him...what ever numbers summit gives you is probably how much power its making at the motor

 

was gonna say the same thing....

You should check out Lloyd Elliots PROVEN H/C packages.... http://eportworks.com

 

finally i get his site name. i have a question on his pricing for le3 its 1850$..thats with a cam right?..it says 1500 for heads only so i assume the 1850 is with the cam.

also my car is an a4 how much will that take away..i will have all the supporitng mods and then some tb,lt's,borla,stall etc.

 

I have the kit and I have no regrets. My car pulls hard. It depends on what your looking for. I was looking for good, quality parts that would be a DD and emitions legal. I've heard alot of good things about Lloyd Elliot to, so just check into him and see if he has your answers that you want.

 

The LE3 is pretty much reserved for stroked setups. The LE2 would be better suited to a stock motor. Check with Lloyd though, give him a call. He will obviously know better than I.

 

ok either way. are those prices with cams?

 

yea, those are prices with the cam. Lloyd Elliott's work will make your car a rocket! Just call him, he's awesome to talk to!

 

i will be getting le3 over the winter..but to your answer your question GO BIGGER

 

I Am Going To Back Thes Guys And Say Go With Loyds, I Seen With My Eyes On The Dyno A 95 Ram Air T/a Put Down 247.8rwhp Before And 361 After Lt4 Kit And Tuning. Just Thought I Would Let You Know The 360 Rwhp Is A Real Number

 

LT4 conv is pooopooooo IMHO

 

do you have any dyno #'s?

 

Another vote for LLoyd. What summit promises has to be at the motor and Lloyd can give you the same numbers at the wheels

 

The HOT cam is not emmisions legal and on a 97 I bet the heads are not either though they probably would be for 96 on down. The LT4 kit is favored by those who did not or will not do adequate research, simple as that, same people who think the LT4 intake is an upgrade for the LT1 .
