I was told that having your LT1 heads ported to max would be better than having LT4 heads ported to max or near max. Yes the bench #'s are greater with ported LT4 heads, but what about the huge valves in the LT4's?

First hand opinions preferred, but anyone can respond with their $.02

Thanks!

 

 

The ported LT4s will do better than ported LT1s. The problem is the cost. By the time you get ported LT4s, you probably have at least $2500 if not more in the heads. My LT1s flowed 278/190 and cost $1150. A good set of ported LT4s could flow about 295/210, maybe more(?). Is that increase worth the added cost? If you have an unlimited budget, certainly. If you are like me, no. JMHO.

Yea I've heard all good things about Lloyd. So you like your LT1's ported?
