Re: LT1 injectors

Dont upgrade injectors until you are close to maxing out your stock ones

Re: LT1 injectors

Any change will require a retune to get maximum benefit

Gears are quick and easy. Retune simply consists of resetting the ratio in the speedo section of the tune

Next, Id go headers with a nice cam. Beyond that ported heads and finishing with some for of power adder

Re: LT1 injectors

i do have a full exhaust,id like to keep my 3.27's cuz they are nice on the highway but still have good take off.

Anyone recommend a good cam? i was looking at the LT4 hot cam but i dont wanna have to dish out the extra cash for the springs and rockers..

Re: LT1 injectors

You are going to have to buy springs no matter what cam you get, the rockers are nice but not a have to have .

Re: LT1 injectors

Consider a spring upgrade standard for any cam swap along with upgraded pushrods

Cams friendly to stock parts are generally just as lame as stock
