Good lord do a search. This will turn into a flame war pissing contest that gets out of hand every time.

Okay, they will chime in. Some will be nice and others will be ********.

I like LE personally, he has treated me very well and took and continues to take a great interest on the job. His new Bullet billet cams are running awesome. I have an older grind and really like it.

Maybe folks will behave this time. But I am not very optimistic. These things really turn ugly in a hurry.

i dont think anyone should say anything bad about either company they are both great and really theres not to many people that have just cam only with the companys..i know either cam would be great but theres just a tad difference between the two

I have seen good results with both but they are few cam only set up's with eather. There is a video on youtube with a AI cam only.

I'm pretty sure a mod will lock this bad boy up as soon as they see it. It's sad that it's like that since both companies are great and you wouldn't be dissapointed with either but this will only end badly if it's not locked. Sorry bud.

i just recently went with AI's 190 heads and their 226/234 cam. and i have to say i love it. the cam has great drivability and has a good lope at idle. i havent gone full throttle yet because i am still breaking the motor in but i think when i do its going to be pretty sweet. the guys are great at AI but that also doesnt mean LE isnt either. i would say either way you go your going to get a great deal and a nice cam

I just ordered a cam from LE and he seemed awesom to deal with. It was a lot more affordable than AI too. This cam will be for a stock headed 355. It is (234/238 .565/.565 112 LSA)

Either cam will get you close to your goal. If you go LE I would put it on a 110 or 109lsa. Or you could buy both, cut them in half and have them welded together and have the best of both words

I ran the LE on my old set up. Great sounding cam on a 109lsa. You can't go wrong with either cam. Both companies will do you good.

No track times but I have a sound clip of my LE cam w/ a Magnaflow and DMH cut out. Don't hate on the socks either it was early AM and I needed to wake the neighbors up
