I've really been looking into doing a cam in my 96 Z28. I am split between the LT4 KIT and the XE 224/230 with springs, rockers, pushrods, lifters, etc.....The XE 224/230 Kit that I have put together will cost around $1200, and the LT4 Kit will cost around $2200, but it does come with heads (I'm not planning on doing heads if I do the XE 224/230.)

Emissions is an issue with me, for this car will be an everyday driver in MASS . I've heard the LT4 Kit will pass without an issue, but I might have some troubles with the XE 224/230 setup.

Basically what I'm asking is, will I be making more rear wheel power with the LT4 kit, or that XE 224/230 Kit that I have put together? Any dynoes of the LT4 Kit would be appreciated, and all input will also be helpful...thanks!

 

$1200 is waay way jacked up on the price!!
check with www.combinationmotorsports.com and they will damn near cut that $1200 in half with a "kit" of everything you need!

 

Call Dave at combination motorsports. they have great pricing on stuff!


I just ordered an XE 227/233 kit

 

What mods do you have? I'll be running a stock headed motor, torn between that cam (227/233) and 224/230. Sorry for hijacking.

CMotorsports' GP usually is around $600 to your door for everything. I wouldn't get the LT4 kit. For that money Lloyd can easily do a really nice job on your stock heads and you'll have money left to play.

 

I have stock heads, AS&M midlength headers, 2800 stall, exhaust, CAI, couple other small things

 

Thanks for the advice guys...I already e-mailed Daved at combination motorsports about a package to set up. I just hope its as cheap as you say it is! I think I'll be going with the 227/230 cam....

 

Id get some headers first

 

Yeah I plan on getting Jet Hot Long tubes and a custom y-pipe. Then plugs and wires. Then the cam install!

 

C motor sports is the way to go !!

Cant beat those prices..

As soon as I sell my gfx and sport wing, That's what I'll be doing

also not sure what cam I'll go with, either of the two above or the 230/236
