Default Anyone using LE 223/230 112lsa Cam?

Has anyone on here had any experience with this cam from Lloyd Elliott? Its a very similar cam to the cc503 which is what i ideally want to run but talking to Lloyd this cam is a reworked 503 cam with more lift and makes more power. I know the 503 has been proven to already make good power on stock headed cars so i have no doubt the LE cam will only make a little more power. Im going to be running either cam with a set of AFR ported 190s that flow 300/211 with 2.055 and 1.60 valves and pac springs. This setup should be an awesome street car by the time im done! Anyone running this cam have anything to chime in about it? Hows the idle comparable to the 503 cam?

Thanks Alot!

It's not rocket science...LE's cam has one less degree intake duration with the same 112 LSA. It's gonna drop your .050" overlap only a half degree. So the idle sound will be pretty much identical.

And with the LE cam having more lift and probably less seat duration than the cc503 due to the more aggressive ramp rates, it most likely will have better DCR and certainly more power.

So I wouldn't even hesitate to use this cam over the cc503. Just make sure you have the valvetrain to support it.

Lloyd has told me on several occasions that his version of the 503 will make 8-10 HP more than CC's version.

I have this cam in my car and it made 422 rwhp and 412 rwtq with his LE2 heads. My car also runs mid 11.s in the quarter. In my honest opinion it is the best cam if you still need to pass emissions.

My car made 391rwhp and 369rwtq with this cam, I think there was a little left in it too, with more tunning.

Thanks guys its a new cam and not much talk about it so figured id ask and see if anyone was running and how they like and what kind of gains they got from it. Ill be ordering one from Lloyd shortly. I figure with my crazy ported AFRs even with 64cc bringing my stock compression down a bit i should have no problem making good low end on the street and still make my goal of 370rwhp+. Will i need to upgrade to a 30lb injector or will stock be fine?

Thanks!

I like this cam. If you get it be sure to tell Lloyd what heads you're running it with and that they are going to kill your compression so he can have a little more advance ground in to try and help with that.

Seriously...pull your heads and get a thin head gasket in there and even mill those heads a little. Otherwise that 64cc will be a crutch to you making "good low end".

Im well aware the 64cc is going to be a little issue but even if i dont mill these heads that the awesome portwork along with 4.10s and aluminum flywheel will defeat that issue. So that being said i shouldnt have much issues with the lowend being as problem some as people may say it will be. But dont get me wrong a proper set of heads would be better matched to make the most power. I have a high mile motor and not only will the degrade in compression help the bottom end I might be able to run on a lower octane grade if i chose to. I know this setup will still make good power as what i stated above should work great when properly tuned. Im looking into milling them while i have them sitting on the bench im not sure how far i can go with the AFR castings to get the compression up but i just sent off an email to them to know what i can.
