Default Estimates on HP and track times please

With the mods in my sig, what would be my flywheel and rear wheel HP if I added the LE1 heads and an EWP? What about the LE2 heads and EWP? Would high 11's be possible or am I looking at low 12's? I know the cams old but Im not going to change it for this car. Thanks.

There's no reason you shouldn't be in the mid-high 12s now with some traction.

^Thanks. Yes I realize that. I was just wondering how much either heads will add to it and which heads, LE1 or LE2, are the best with my mods.

LE1s are all you need...the Hotcam is tiny and you don't have any serious supporting mods --- LT's being first and foremost.

With the le1's and the hot cam, I would say low 12's. 11's would be pushin it. Is it a4 or m6? If it's a4 you would need a stall for sure, or it might not even be capable of low 12's. Most le2 setups with the le custom cam trap 118-121 and run anywhere from High 11's to low 11's.

Is it really worth it to go with LT's over the mids? I am now wondering if I should go with the budget LE heads or the LE1. I should probably go ahead and do
LE1 just incase I want to get the supporting cam later.
