My Impala SS has no weight reduction. 4300 lbs +. Should run 10's on the new AI setup. This run was on LE2 heads and Intake with a GM847.

Theres a certain TT car from Chi-town that will OWN the shootout. Im thinking it will cross the traps at about 180mph. As a matter of fact I thought we were having another earthquake. Turns out Z8s started his car.

hhmmmmmmmmm. Wheres my calendar. I dont have LE or AI heads. But this silver TA could use a red stripe.
From my experience both AI and LE heads are an improvement over stock. I did the tuning on HVYSS car and his car is proof that the LE2 heads and intake work cause his car is still full weight as you can see in the video he posted above run's fairly well for a boat. I really didn't know what to think about his new purchase of the AI 200cc heads, but I do know that a CNC port job where all ports and chambers are going to be exact will help promote a better balanced engine which should produce more power. Also the flow numbers seem alot better on the AI's compared to his LE2's. So with all that said I fully expect his car to go faster with the head swap.
From what I've personally seen, every car that have AI heads perform. So we are going to do an apples to apple comparison on his car by swapping on his new AI 200cc heads and keeping the GM847 cam so that the heads and intake can show which ones are truly better. The AI spec cam will eventually go in but we are just curious to see how the heads alone will perform compared to his current setup. I don't feel that the GM847 cam is an advantage to one head more than the other and I know there will be haters saying that the cam isn't spec'd for the AI heads but the cam isn't spec'd for the LE2 heads either so this is why we are going to do it this way to get a good result with track times to prove which setup works the best.
