I am just about ready to start ordering all of my parts, and I thought I heard somewhere that the LT4 valve springs need to have a little work done on the head for the springs to work. Is this true? I know I will have to have the dowel pin pushed in, but I thought that was all that I needed. Is there anything else other than a timing chain?

 

What cam are you putting in there?

No machining is necessary for the LT4 springs.

 

I am going with the LT4 hotcam kit and a 100 shot on top of that. Hopeing that
and a 2800-3000 converter and 3.73 gears and hooker comp ceramic headers will get me to break 11's. If not i'll do a 125 shot. When I get the money I will add suspension mods like LCA's and torque arm and what not. Thanks for the reply's though guys.

 

Yeah you will be cool with the LT4 springs.... It's a fellow upstater guys WTF?

BTW i'm in Elmira boss...

Awesome, I just moved to vestal from owego.

 

Your even closer now... my shop is about 35 mins from Vestal. You been to Skyview Dragstrip yet?

Yeah I've been up there once or twice, but not with my car. My parents race up there. She has a 01 GTX that is red with black racing stripes, ram air, and runs low low 8's. And her boyfriend has an 02 GTP. They both have taken a frist place trophy home within the past 3 weeks. I hope to have my car up there once its done. We'll have to meet up there sometime. What kind of shop do you have?
