This would be best discussed in LT1 Tech, transfering.

And yes the LT4 stuff is good, but even better is a true double roller setup (though you need a electric water pump then).

The LT4 Extreme Duty timing set has been used on LT1's making up to 1,100+HP, running high spring pressure solid roller cams.... it should prove more than adequate for most of us

There is a difference between those sets. The GM LT1/LT4 Ed timing set that Fred mentions is much better/durable than the basic GM LT4 timing set, particularly considering the small price difference.
