Questions about LT1 to LT4 conversion?

I got a stock 93 LT1 camaro, and im looking to upgrade my engine to an LT4, my question is what would i all need to upgrade on my car, like do i need to upgrade my clutch to a stage 2 possibly to handle the hp difference. I'm not a total 'grease monkey' if you will but im trying to pick some stuff up. If you guys could recommend some stuff that would be great! Thanks.

What kind of HP are you looking for? Best way to make significant gains is to upgrade (port) the stock heads, with a matching cam. Look over what's available from sources like Lloyd Elliott, Advanced Induction or TEA. Up to 500HP at the flywheel is possible - with additional intake system and exhaust system improvements, larger injectors, etc. As you upgrade the engine, you have to make comensurate upgrades to the drivetrain and suspension.

The LT4 is not all its cracked up to be. There are cheaper, more productive ways to achieve your goals.
