Default Looking for a LT1/LT4 Heads and Cam Kit (besides the hot cam kit)

I am looking to see if anyone knows of a LT1/LT4 Cylinder heads and camshaft kit besides the hot cam kit. I want a bigger cam then the hot cam.
And does anyone really know what the Eldbrock Heads heads in the Hot cam kit flow? cause if they flow good enough I would just call Eldbrock and ask if they could make me a custom cam or a bigger camshaft.

The Edelbrock Kit is absolute junk compared to what you could get for less money. Going with Lloyd Elliot or Advanced Induction would not only be cheaper but would show significant hp/tq gains over the Edelbrock package. Check this place out:

LE +1. Edelbrock isn't known to be the best. But it definitely isn't the worst.

Thats impressive 102 hp gain over claimed factory hp. and it would only be $16.10 dollars per hp.

yeah awesome plan. im not gonna be doing mine until early next yr. Probably january or february. Im gonna be rebuilding my motor with the le2 package and probably get my intake ported as well. Do full bolt ons and im gonna do a six speed swap and get a moser 12 bolt. So basically im gonna go from bone stock 14.2 quarter mile car to a beefy probably mid 12 second car in a matter of months so im totally excited about it. Im also gonna do some cosmetic stuff as far as a sunoco cowl hood with the 98-02 ss spoiler and some torque thrust II's and tinted windows and maybe some interior stuff. I kinda wanna switch to leather interior but i dunno yet. What are ur plans for ur car?

The man does awesome work and a has a great reputation.
You'll be MUCH happier with one of Lloyd's setups than you would have with the hotcam or Edelbrock setup.

FWIW Here's what the Edelbrock setup does for a 350.
(That is a brand new set of edelbrock heads, cam and valvetrain VS original equipment with miles on it)

Here's what a set of LE2 heads and a 22x/23x cam does to a bolt-on car with a stock bottom end
(VS original equipment with 52K miles on it)

Yes and the standard cam for LE2 is larger than what I used and my numbers are through a big loose 4000 stall.
It's not uncommon for LE2 setups to clear 400 at the wheels.

The point is that it's more than twice what you get with the Edelbrock setup.
Even the emissions grind cams put out close to 400. (That's right California )

No prob. Give Lloyd a call and he will definetly set you on the right path with a setup and help you out. He even helped me out when I was installing everything so you will not be disappointed.

Thanks for the graph that is awesome, have you seen a LE3 graph?

I will for sure after seeing the great results he has been putting out.
