Default Lt-i Performance

Got My New Mid America Corvette Wish Book Today. On Page
151 It Advertizes "upgrade Your Lt-1 To Lt-4 Performance Levels "
With A Spark Control Up Grade $ 69.99. Has Anyone Tried This.
If It Works, It Would Save A Lot Of Money Over An Engine Swap
I Have A 1996 Lt-1 Auto 2:59 Gears. ANY IDEAS ?? ANYONE??.

It won't upgrade your LT1 to LT4 levels. I laughed when I read that in the catalog.

That's just an LT4 knock module. I bought one from Superior Chevrolet for around ~$30. It's a little less sensitive than it's LT1 counterpart. Unless you're experiencing false knock from increased engine harmonics (roller rockers, ect), it's useless.

That will do nothing for your car. If you want LT4 performance and then some it will cost alot more than $70.00

"upgrade Your Lt-1 To Lt-4 Performance Levels "
Advertising a knock module as being able to do that is outright deception.
