I currently own a stock lt1, i was wanting some input on a good combination as far as cam, valve springs and lifter kit i should use, was well as a nice set of rockers should use to upgrade. Im thinkin the LT4 is too minor an upgrade if plan to go higher in the future. CC503, CC305??

 

im using steel compcam pro rockers and wish i woulda went with the compcam lifters. are u planning on porting the heads and intake? i dont know how the guys here like lloyds work at elliotts portworks but i do. had him do my heads and intake plus my pick of his cams for 2k. ive heard good things about the cc305 but dont know from personal experiance. im using the patriot gold springs.

 

call any supporting vendor that carries a full fo body line and they will have everything you need.

I would do:

cc503 w/complete valvetrain. (pushrods, lifters, 1.6 rockers, springs, etc)
Longtube headers
exhaust
cold air intake
mail order pcm tune

than some suspension stuff. also drag radials

 

thanx for all the advice its a big help....

MUCH appreciated...

 

My mild 93Z:

Crane 227 cam
LT4 spring kit
Comp Cam 1.52 roller tip rockers

 

I agree, for a first upgrade I like my 503, and with a good set of heads it will make lots of power. Have Fun.

 

Think I should go with an aftermarket intake as well, something like Edelbrock?...
Or any other suggestions....

 

I wouldn't spend my money on an Edelbrock intake. Don't think there are any gains to be had. Get your intake ported to match the ported heads if you go that route.

 

If your doing head work than have the intake done. But stay away form Edelbrock intake, it only looks good, and does NOTHING for HP.

 

what would be a great set of 1.6 rocker arms from summit to go with?

 

Comp cams ultra pro mags.

 

Porting the stock manifold on a mild cam-only setup is a waste of money.

Porting the heads on a 503 cammed setup is also a waste of money.

So is the Edelbrock manifold on ANY setup.

Really! I beg to differ. My car makes 371 RWHP and runs 12's with street tires, and high 11's with DR and still gets 22 MPG!!! I dont think it was a wast of time.
