Default LT-1 to LT-4 conversion Kit

I'm thinking about doing this conversion. click here. What else would I need that the kit doesn't include? Would I need a larger TB and injectors? Would the computer need to be re-programed? Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I heard Summit has the complete kit now too. You may want to check them to see if the price is any better or even more complete.

According to add you are going to have to change the optispark to one that fits the 95-96. Probably have to change timing cover too. Since there is a cam change you will have to reprogram computer. Your 92 could be upgraded to the 24lb injectors since ours ( I have a 92 also) came with 21 or 22lb injectors ( can't remember which one). A 52tb would probably help too since airflow has increase due to heads and cam.

I posted this same question and link earlier this year.

I believe that the general response I got was that it was better to simply get the hot cam kit and spend that same money on getting your LT1 heads cleaned up. I didnt get a lot of responses, so I will sit and watch this one too.

But - that kit does include a ton of gaskets and seals - probably many of which could stand to be replaced in your 92. (I know my 93 needs them).

:lurk:
