Default LT1 to LT4 changes

What are the changes between the LT1 and LT4 engines? Is the rated power increase 30 HP? Just trying to improve my Corvette engine IQ.
Thanks,
Rob

Yes 30 hp increase (to 330hp), higher compression (10.8:1 vers 10.4:1 for LT1), new aluminum head design, Crane roller rocker arms, revised camshaft profile and other major and minor tweaks. Redline increased from 5700rpm to 6300rpm.
