Shopping list for winter
Hi all,
It's early July and I'm thinking about what I would like to do with the car during it's yearly hibernation.
I would like it to sound like this guy's
'92:
Sound of 92 LT1 with HotCam kit, LT headers, RT bullet cats, X-pipe, and CorvetteCentral High Output Turbo mufflers. Runs 12.50 @ 108 quarter mile. Passes emissions.

I get w00d when I hear that car idle. That being said, I have a few questions.
What would be the estimated HP gained?
When I order the lt4 hotcam, what rockers/springs will I want to get? what about pushrods? Should I upgrade the intake system at all? I didn't plan on pulling the heads.
I need the car to pass NH emissions, I was under the impression that LT headers will kill that. But since the guy in the vid has them and claims to pass, am I concerned for nothing? I've read where shorties are the only way to achieve that goal. Oh and I don't want the drone people complain about at cruise speed either.
I'm looking for someone who has done the same to his late c4 in hopes to get a complete shopping list with tools needed and other items I will need/want to replace while I have everything apart. I have the FSMs and a have redone the top ends on several of my cars in the past but they weren't fuel injected or of the modern/electronic types, so I'm a little intimidated.
I have searched and read several threads that relate to this mod, but I haven't seen one with a complete list of EVERYTHING I'll need for the job.
I smile every time I think about my car, this would push me over the edge without a doubt.
Thanks for reading!
