Try searching the forums, then search again, and again, and again. I dont have tons of posts and one reason is because I use the search function to its full potential. Pretty much anything I have ever wanted to know I've found through searching. There are tons of old posts about LE and AI.

all right like i figured it was something completely retarded.......A effin ground at the back of the motor....Stupid! i guess with every shake of the motor it just got more loose and more loose and then just got too loose to keep a connection so that problem is resolved. I am now having to buy my cam heads and lifters. At this point i am projected to have 460 hp with a possibility of the motor being able to handle around 100 shot of nos. idk yet. I have found a cam with 224* 234* and a 480 lift for relatively cheap. round 109 buck not including lifters and all. Heads i am sure u have all found out are a bitch to pick out. Almost every head i have looked out has got the 2.02 int and the 1.60 ex. But i cant find a 68 cc one. Also everytime i look at the heads the only come bare and are not ported. its getting frustrating really. I was told that this would work great with my cam and get everything flowing pretty descently. I am looking through competitonproducts.com so what kind of head do u have that are working pretty good with your set up? I am looking at the dart heads. I will also be putting a lt4 intake on and clearing my engine compartment by taking out my smog pump and abs till i have the money for the headers. At the moment i have estimated the cost of this build to be around 5000. Tell me what you think. I am relying on your help to make this car. reply with all ur ideas thank you.

Save your money and don't get the LT4 intake. Many have posted on here that it is no better, if not worse, than just porting your stock intake. I would just send your stock heads to someone like Lloyd Elliot for the porting work...I hear nothing but good and will be using them myself when the time comes. Many have already posted if you would like to read actual customers of Lloyd's testimonials as well. Search the forum...plenty should show up.

incase you never found lloyd elliotts website...it is elliottsportworks.com I will be using him very soon...He only wants half the money when you send in the heads..and the other half when he gets done about 4-5 weeks. So that should give you enough time to save up the rest of the money...While some of the work is getting done. Less time to wait before you GO FAST!!
