Default LE2 Vs LE1

Well looking into my 355 build and went on Llyods website and I was seeing there is only 10 Hp difference in the LE1 vs LE2 then again a 10 HP gain in the LE3's. Is the 300 dollar price jump just better parts being used because 10 HP for 300 bucks doesn't seem like much of a gain to me

Just curious

Keep in mind its 10 real HP. Not like a pulley that claims 10000hp increase and really gives you 2hp. Plus Lloyd under estimates his set ups. I think he told me I would end up with 380-390rwhp with a 10bolt and I ended up making 415rwhp with a Dana S60 rear end

If you do a search on either here or cz28, you will find tons of information on the LE1 and LE2 set-ups. Both are very good set-ups that will make good power. Then, if it's not enough, spray it
The LE1 set-up will not have to rev as high as the LE2 though.

Depends on the cam. There's a few "le1" cams and a few "le2" cams. they can all vary on peak and powerband shape.

This goal can easily be achieved with LE1 heads and a 150 shot, but as everyone else said get the LE2 heads or you will regret it later. I'm upgrading from LE1 to LE2 heads as soon as I get the money.

What size shot were you planning to spray? Let Lloyd know about spraying it so that he can set you up with a more nitrous friendly cam.

Also, before you buy any check the classifieds. There is a guy in there that gets heads from LE and sometimes (like now) he has them cheaper. These are sold but keep an eye on his threads
