lloyd will only sell the cams as part of the head and cam package. Not individually. Contact Bret Bauer. He'll give you what you need. bret@bauer-racing.com

The LT4 gaskets are thicker than the LT1 and are the thickest I am aware of for this engine, NOT that I would suggest using something like that.

You want to drop compression for turbo and use an as cast head I would say dump the LT4s and and get some Trickflows and run a gasket of reasonable thickness.

well you see unfortunately i'm at a point in my my build where funds for new heads is a last resort, i'm probably going to call lloyd see if i can send my lt4 castings to him for them to be ported/polished, as that would bring compression ratio down, and see if he can make me a matching cam for my sts setup as well. anyone have experience with his work? how difficult is it to contact him?
