I'm currently looking to obtain a late C4 with LT1. Having compared the LT1 spec of 1995 and 1996 I was astonished that the compression rate was lowered from 10.5:1 to 10.4:1 in 1996. Peak power was the same but torque was marginally lower and at later rpm (different sources yield different numbers). Was there a reason for this? Any stricter emission regulations or to get a slightly bigger difference to the LT4 - however the LT4 was manual and a '96 LT1 was auto (some say there were some early '96 manual with LT1, though).
