A4 LT1s with LE packages
Seems like a lot of the folks here love the HOTCAM and LT4 conversions.
I have been saving up for the SDPC LT1 to LT4 stage III kit with the hotcam. However, on the Fbody sites it seems like the LE packages are the hot ticket. So is anyone running a Lloyd Elliot package in there A4 Vette? If so how does your performance compare to the guys running LT4 conversions? Is your car streetable? Can you pass emissions(I am not a tree hugger, but an extra 5hp is not worth dying over? I have been taking notes over the last few months, and appreciate everyone that has given me advise over the last few months. I have the need for speed however, I can't afford to buy stuff twice and am just looking at the options.

I think his LE2 is just shy of that at around 370-385.

Lloyd does great work, his prices are reasonable as well. He has done a couple sets of heads for me as well. One set is a set of Dart Pro1 230s that are going on a solid roller 383 LT1 that engine will be done this week and is going into a 93 F-body controlled by a G7 DFI system. We expect that car to run well into the 10s on the engine.

Lloyd assured me that the cam will have decent vacuum and will be easier to tune than a CC306. I am sorta skeptical with a cam that has 2 or 3 degrees more overlap, so we will see.......

The Camaro guys love LE packages on their LT1's but he is not as popular with people here on this forum. Not sure why.

You're not gonna get much (if any) more than 200cfm on the exhaust of a LT1/4 head.

Did you get the LE3 completed? If you did how did it run.
I talked with Lloyd today and he suggested his LE1 emissions cam with his LE2 heads, I don't know whether I can live with the down time, but if his work is as exceptional as the Camaro guys say it is I guess it will be worth the wait.
