I love the LT5, but the cost of making an LT4 fast is just so cheap compared to the LT5.

A full exhaust and 4:10 would be the most I would do to a Z personally.
My motor put down 400rwhp with ported top end and headers. And the real difference is that power peak is at 6800rpm w a torque peak of 5300. Your LT4 is panting after 5000rpm. If you do your own porting, its pretty inexpensive.
