Default LT4 conversion kit?

I have been thinking about a hot cam and some other mod options when I stumbled upon the LT4 conversion kit on summits web sight. Have any of you done this mod and is it worth it. The price is $2300. This is not what I consider chump change and I don't mind doing the wrenching myself but I want it to be worth it. By the way I have a 96 auto. Any thoughts would be great.

It depends on what you want to do with your car... I personally don't think it is worth it. You can port your existing heads, stab a bumpstick, 1.6 or 1.7 RR's, exhaust, LT headers, and intake mods for roughly the same price. The LT4 intake and heads are superior... but only if offered as stock on the car. The $$$ it would take to go from the LT1 - LT4 I don't exactly think it is worth it.

I did it to my '93 but I also had a HOTcam installed along with a 52mm TB and a chip. As said before, you could get your heads ported to flow as well as stock LT4s, But it you do the kit, you can port the LT4s and then sell your LT1 heads and intake.
