Default Lt4 heads

I have a hot cam kit but i dont have the lt4 heads or intake i am looking to buy the heads should i go with the gm lt4 heads or should i go with something else. I found the gm lt4 heads for 1,000 dollars should i get those heads and just port and polish them more or what should i do? Are the gm lt4 heads good for nitrous?
Thanks

Keep in mind you cant just bolt the LT1 intake to the LT4 heads. So factor in the cost for a LT4 intake as well.

You can port and polish the LT1 heads to flow better than the stock LT4 heads and they come with a whole set of new valvetrain. EPORTWORKS.COM

dont worry about either, use your stock heads and intake with the LT4 hot cam....if you decide to go with a bigger cam, then do heads, the LT4 hotcam is a small cam for a heads/cam application

EPORTWORKS.com if you want your LT1 heads ported or polished. You actually can get a better cam than the LT4 Hotcam.

i know but i already have it in and dont really want to take it out again unless i get a good deal on all the stuff to do it. if i could sell the hot cam i would change it in a second. i just put it in like 200 miles ago i got the whole cam kit the springs, rocker arms and cam. if i change it what should i change it to?

Get the LE2 heads with the LE1 cam. It also depends on your goals and your mods now.

isnt the LE1 cam said to be similar to the hot cam? The cam is my only mod. i am doing nitrous this winter with heads and headers.
