I would be happy with anything better that a 12.2.

The reason I went with the 227 was for the stealth effect not for all out power.

Like I said, the 227 is a torque cam, the goobers comparing it to the HOT cam are forgetting the HOT is a HP cam.
I am not saying the 227 is a bad choice, it is mild and proven will run well a LONG time before wearing out a spring like the 918.

People are also inflating your numbers because they put undo faith in Lloyd's magic.

Duane you are misguided. You do realize a set of LE1s has been over 400rwhp right?

I BUILT a car with cam similar to the 227 with more lift. 411 rwhp all day long.

The good(not Lloyd's) ported LT1 stock castings have been over 500rwhp on multiple cars even through automatic transmissions and 9". That does not mean every instance of their use is 450+rwhp.

But hell you are so stupid you can't spell something written right in front of you so I guess I am stupid for even trying to reason with you.

Here is a post about actual results with LE2s and the similar Lingenfelter 211/219 cam, the Lingenfelter actually has a bit more lift. http://camaroz28.com/forums/showpost...29&postcount=1

Show me an example to suggest I am wrong.

B&M = Break and Mangle.

The cheap converters create ALOT more heat and over time will eat a tranny as everyone knows heat is a trannies poison.

I would not use that cam if I was wanting 375 RWhp.

Again back on target, I sited a comparable example that fell short of even my prediction and you guys are blasting my prediction as too low. Show me what you are basing your guess on.

Funny when LE guys cry when AI tells it like it is, especially when they know nothing about either one.

I could care less about the cushy feeling Lloyd gives you guys on the phone or through email. I'm after REAL results, and that's all there is to it. It's a shame that 400whp is so commonplace for LT1s nowadays. So common it just isn't impressive anymore.

Once again Lawhead, you're quick to side with LE and bash AI when you have no real-world experience.

I have not once bashed AI until they said what they said to me

Every time someone comes on here asking I mention both companies and even after what they said to me I said they perform theres no doubt about that

Will 20 degrees work out to a 83 whp difference? I don't know **** so I am looking for education not trying to bash. I know the M6 must be 20 or so HP right?

What will I need to do to I see a 12.2?
