someone local h/c install

I can do this myself but it's a lot of work anyone in the area want to help me throw a cam and heads in my LT1?? I'll pay you at the same time. Right now I do not have 800.00-1000.00 to get it done so I will pay someone to help me all they have to do is help me put it back together that's it I will disassemble it since that is the easy part!!! I'll also buy the helpers choice of beverage as well and food......someone let me know before it gets cold out!! If noone can help me I will shoout it to a shop and have them sit on it for awhile

hey!! it will be possible with what is going with it!!!!! I have some other goodies that I have that will compliment the package so just for a hint ALL emissions will be going away and a few additions so 400 is almost right on give or take 1-2 horses

Jim and I will be looking for some work of this type in the future. He has a lift in his garage and it is pretty well equipped. Unfortunately we have a lot of projects going on right now so there is no time/room for at least the next month or so. But in the future we wouldn't mind tackling some jobs. I am extremely familiar with the LT1, hardly know anything about the LS1.

400rwhp from heads and cam is a stretch on an LT1. What cam are you running? What are the heads ported at? At some point I'll be doing heads/cam and I have a fairly big cam going in, one that won't pass emissions, well, maybe it will, but highly unlikely. And I'm expecting less than 400rwhp. Taking off the emissions won't make much of a difference if at all. It's a lofty goal, best of luck with it.

You live in Massachusetts and you are going to do away with all of your emission devices....that is some good thinking. You instantly turn it into a car you can never sell....but...it's your car. 400 with a head and cam package isn't likely going to happen. I would shoot for 350 or so...much more realistic.

I heard those head suck

In all seriousness, those heads will hit some massive low end TQ, but I don't think they can possibly hit 400. I was shooting for 350 and some people said that would be a stretch........

Anywho, that muffler still FS?

Guys see my sig I hit 381 rw with combo in my sig. I also had my heads flowed (242 @ .500 not great - see my post today in LT1 tech for all the numbers). I think with heads as least good as mine and a big cam such as the XE 230/236 or the CC306, 400 rw could be attainable.

Did I miss which heads are going on the car?
