Default (LE2 package)LE2 Cam or GM847

Anyone running the LE2 package with the LE2 cam, or have they changed it to a GM847 or something different? Anyone have the specs on the LE2 cam I cant find them.

Or could anyone say if I should run the GM847 with the LE2 package.

Yeah but you can buy heads only, would rather do that if gm847 is better, le2 cam compares itself to cc306 and the gm847 is better then cc306.

Llyod doesn't want those specs floating around, and I completely understand why. He specs it, and people would just steal the specs and have them ground. 847 is "better" than the 306? that would have to be a matter of opinion. more like, bigger. A guy on here runs low 12's NA at 4200lbs with a Mid 22* cam. bigger is not always better with a cam. I'd let LE spec it where he wants it, Chances are he knows what makes more power, than say an off the shelf grind, that likely already has a compromise in it.

i agree...the le2 cam is matched to the heads. if you want more power just use the le3 cam with the le2 heads. that makes around 415-420 rwhp I think Lloyd advertises.

Well since I designed them.....

The LE cams are made to work with the rest of your car. If you have less gear, more weight and less stall then the smaller cams work the best to get you down the track. The LE3 cam for a 355 wants RPM and wants lots of gear and stall. The cams aren't made for the bigger is better aproach, they are designed to maximize the RPM range that the car will be working in and make the most TQ thru that range.

A good side benefit of this is that the cams also drive better than other cams their size and power output.
