any one of those with the correct setup will get you to yur goal. To know exactly what that setup is, you'll need to tell more about yur car/current setup...

It's been done with LE1's and it's been done with AI's old 185cc heads, so LE2's and/or AI190's shouldn't have a problem. Should have a problem doing it with off the shelf Dart, Trickflows, or AFR's, but it's most cost effective to do it with ported stockers.

Problem many people don't seem to understand these days is 400rwhp is just a line on a paper.

Yes ma'm, I'll take two helpings of grammar with a side of punctuation.

AKA I'm not even going to try and read that pile of crap.

How is AI hard to contact? They've always answered my calls and emails in a very timely manner. Great CS for a company as busy as them, and you get to talk to an expert not a secretary.

Lloyd does fine work and great CS too. I just prefer CNC'd heads so I would recommend

AI was never once hard to get a hold of. Always answered the phone or called right back for me. CNC'd heads w/o a doubt.

I currently have LE2's, LE ported intake and GM847. AI 200cc heads, intake, and AI cam on the way. Car has gone 11.19@119 on LE setup and 150 shot. Will post times when I get the car to the track this spring on the AI setup.

I never had a problem getting a hold of the guys at AI and they were helpful as could be. I was 50/50 on LE2s or AI200's, I didn't really care which heads I ended up with, both are quality and both put down nice numbers. I just sat back and waited for a good deal in the classifieds and one of the best deals I've ever seen in there turned out to be for LE2's so I jumped on it. I don't even have them in my hands yet tho so thats all I can say on them for now. can't go wrong w/ either AI or LE imo
