Default 2v to 4v?

Would it be possible to have a 2v to 4v conversion on a GT to make it cobra-esque? Also, there does not seem to be much info on RAI such as the kit from March, any input wud be greatly appreciated! I've been reading the forums for awhile but just registered today...

To do a swap you will need new complete 4V heads, new timing chain, new timing chain cover, all new hardware, new ECU, new wiring harness, cam sensors, new pulleys, new belt tensioner, new belt, new tune etc, etc, etc, etc. Not really worth the money you will spend to get it done.


The ram air kits arent really worth it. The best performing induction kit is a plastic fender well kit such as www.tunableinduction.com . Ram air kits are hardly worth the effort or money you will spend on it.

you'd probaby be better off doing a complete engine swap of you have your heart set on 4V. I've heard from a few people though that you see quicker gains with a 2v than a 4v, and the 2vs can wind up a bit better because they have less load on the crank (less cams to turn)

Just put a vortech supercharger on it and I'm certain you will be happy! :-)
