To the OP, get either one, and worry more about making sure all the supporting valvetrain parts and the tune is done right.

Wow, very tame, I'm impressed.

Either company will give you exactly what you want so there is no right answer here. Personally I have run a H/C setup from LE and loved it. I'm about to run a cam only setup in a retro-swap project that has a LT1 in a 67 Chevy C10. I'll let you know how that goes if it ever gets running, LOL!!

As one of the few people who have actually had both products in my car I can honestly say the quality, reliability, and performance I got from Ai was unmatched compared to any previous setup or vender.

Neil, my thoughts exactly I've probably had to lock 20 of these threads in the past 2 years.

Shut it down at 6400 after peak hp, also could have partly been the opti that took a dump on me. Once I put the new one in the car feels/sounds better than ever.
