they aren't too much greater than the lt1. I thjink they are just below the Ls1 in performance, but they are noticeably better than the lt1. but nonetheless, its still a crappy LT motor =P
your mach1 should be pretty much the same as it, i think they have like 330/330hp/tq, which is pretty much what your 4v has.

Hahaha no LT1-LT4 is just packages and options you can get for your vette. Just look it up it's pretty easy to find. I have the LT3 package that includes heated seats, driver memory, etc. etc. etc.

I like how you talk, like you know what it is..........I thought that was pretty hillarious.

Haha nothing to do with the engine.....sorry dude.

^What the hell are you talking about? The LT4 is basically an LT1 with better heads and intake manifold and a bigger cam. All 1996 Corvettes with the 6-speed got it. Rated at 330 hp. A think a few '96 Firehawks got it as well. Visually identified by the red intake manifold. My buddy has an LT4 Corvette. Decisively faster than an LT1 Vette.

LT4 is a motor not a package. It's a lt1 with a different intake, and cam. I think all 96 6speeds are lt4's(I think).

If you see a lt1 car with a red intake it's a lt4 intake.
