LE3 383 runs again! (videos)
well after not running for 4 months I got the car back together. Its still got bugs to work out but DAMN does it pull better than before. amazing what just long tubes, A/C & AIR delete, rebuilt tranny #2, and a properly working torque converter will do for ya.
Ok heres the vids...

Yes, I know my "low oil" light is on. Its got enough oil in it, the sensor must be bad. both of the videos are with open headers. the car seems to stumble a little bit. Hope my opti isn't going out since it has pretty low miles on it.
with this car anything below 30 mph is pointless. it spins the tires so easily. I love it
can't wait to take it to the track. my radiator has a small leak in it and I need to get a full exhaust on it. it ran a best of 12.6 @ 109.7 before on drag radials with some issues, most of which I have worked out. I hope to run mid 12s on street tires but closer to 115 mph trap speeds

Sounds sweet. I am in the process of getting a 381 stroker put in with my LE2 heads and I am pretty sure it is the same cam as you. My buddy built the motor a couple years back and had LE3 (similar heads, before Lloyd had stages) and a pretty big Joe O cam with specs very similat to yours (also cannot give away the specs). Hearing your car makes me so excited, hopefully mine should be up and running in the next few weeks

Wow, that 383 sounds sick ! I would have expected the 383 to swallow up more of that cam lope, but damn it sounds good. I wonder how lumpy a LE3 would sound in a stock cube LT1
