Not trying to beat a dead horse but we are close to upgrade our ´96 Yukon.
i've been trying to find out the best combo for the Yukon but everytime some new details comes into mind
and might change the plans a bit. The upgrade is a fact. I've done a great upgrade on my L98 87 vette
with a 219 LPE cam, SuperRam intake and base, AFR195 heads, 3200 vigilante, 3.45 Dana 44 and much more.
Once you are bitten by the performance bug i cannot leave the Yukon alone.
Now this are the facts and doubts :
- What's the stock '96 L31 Compression ratio? thinking on using 0.026" compressed inch head gaskets to bump the compression a bit
- Will this Compression Ratio good for the LT4 Cam?
Not sure what will be the CR with this heads
- Im between AFR0912's 190cc or Edelbrock 60975 170cc E-tecs (we won't be using the stock heads anymore)
AFR has bigger valves but might be overkill with the stock intake and 19lb poppets. Is it worth to swap heads with this alum versions?
We will add a VMax spacer later for more volume on the intake..
All of this will be coupled with a Vigilante 10.5 3600 stalll and 1 5/8 Long tube headers and 1.6 Roller Rockers , we have 3.42 gears.
Any of you running this heads with the LT4 Hotcam
need to find out pushrod length as well
Thanks !
