Has anyone got any suggestions for the best "bang" for your buck for a 96 lt1 head/cam/valvetrain combo? Need it to be reliable, want it to perform. I would like to get closer to 400 rwp. Anybody got that kind of setup?

 

Do you have the supporting mods?

My choice is Advanced Induction, not the cheapest place but by the time you consider upgraded hardware and more machining they are the best value going and IMO the best heads too.

 

Here you go. I think he has the best bang for the buck.http://www.eportworks.com/lt1.html

 

Now there you go, pissing off 96capricemgr. J/K 96, no offense.

 

I've been very happy with my LE setup.
Daily driven, full HVAC and interior, runs high 11s (Click cardomain link in sig; LE details on page 4)

400rwhp is very doable with either LE or AI combos.
Every once in a while you'll see a used set go up for sale in the for sale section when someone upgrades.

 

I couldn't be happier with my AI setup. As capricemgr said once you look at all the extra machine work and what hardware the AI heads come with then end up being a better value than anything else out there IMO, and they have track results to back up their claims.
