Be careful with that thing, don't leave it on and walk away and burn your beater to the ground.
Good to hear the toy is safe from the snow and salt

Very nice buildup. My LE2 made just a bit less HP than you, but was a blast to drive.

Lloyd - is that your newest LE2 cam? I bought my h/c from you in May 2006 and I heard you were in the process of developing a new one. Just curious.

ACHotrod - Look into the GMMG exhaust if you want a badass deep sounding sound. I had it on my LE2 Formula WS6 and it just sounded wicked. I also had a cutout on the passenger side just before the rear axle. Listen for yourself...







Can't wait to see what you put down at the track where the #'s really have some meaning.

Another quality build by Speed.

Car belongs to another member on here now. Sold it about 1 year ago. It had a GMMG on there, which it still does. Car put down something like 405rwhp and around 385rwtq. Best run I got out of it was a 12.63 at 111... had to baby it off the line because of the 10 bolt. I went through 3 rear ends, and the current owner 1, but since then he has installed a D60 in there. Once he gets some slick on there, launch that thing at 4000 rpms and see low 12's, maybe hint at 11's... full weight too!

Very sweet!!! Your car was one of them that really inspired me to go LE. GMMG sounds nice but I think Im going to put a TD set up on it.

Cam specs are always changing as we find more things that work better and better.

This cam is a 230/236 .565/.568 108 LSA cam.

scrmnws6, solid numbers from it. I'm sure it'll hit an 11 with a sticky tire and good driving. Are you looking at getting something else?

really depends on the set up the 383 is in (gear, weight, stall, shift RPM, drivability, what kinda idle customer wants or can tolerate, etc, etc).

There is not 1 cam for every engine. I just talk to each customer and figure out a cam that will work best for what they are wanting the car to do.
