[Chevelle-list] LT1

[Clint Hooper]

LT1 heads are decent but not earthshaking,flow-wise. A 52mm TB flows around 750cfm,,a 58mm flows around 1,000cfm.
If you want to wake that engine up,install a GM Hot LT4 cam. Does your LT1 have tubular headers?

  It has high flow aluminum heads, but a good question I have no answer for! I was told the original throttle body from the factory was too restrictive.

  Can your engine handle the increased airflow from the larger TB? If not,you're just wasting your money.

        I need some advice about an LT1 engine I have in a 46 Chevy Truck I bought recently. I notice on Summit they have an Air Fuel Sensor and a 52MM and a 58MM throttle bodies. Does any one know if changing either or both will make a difference in performance on a stock LT1 engine. It is either a 1995 or 1996 LT1 from a Camaro that has aluminum heads.

         

        Why 52MM and a 58MM throttle bodies choice? Why not use the larger throttle body one?

         

        I've been getting varied info.
