Default Le2??

How many guys are using the LE2 combo? Been looking at this a while now really thinking about buying it i have heard nothing but good feedback on Lloyd Elloit. Car is in my signuature. Have a few questions will the stock intake be good or will i have to upgrade? I keep hearing how the LT1 intake is good for 400 h/p. Next question will the stock throttle body be ok or will that need to be upgrades? Living in Canada, and the dollar sucking i am trying to stick with the stock intake and throttle body for now?

I'm running LE2 heads with a cam spec'd by him on a 355, stock untouched intake and TB. Put down 414rwhp 391rwtq (with an rpm discrepancy that shorted tq by 300-400 rpms puts power closer to 430ish). That's on a 6 speed and stock 10 bolt though.

I'd have Lloyd to port the intake as well, no need to be Skimpy on it for just $200 more.

If I were to have LE work over my intake it would be worth maybe 10hp over 6k rpms. Even at $200, if shipping was free, I would not (and dont, but no free shipping for me either) have this very high on my to do wish list. It's there, but towards the bottom.

As mentioned, I would call Lloyd Elliott personally and tell him exactly what you want or want to accomplish. He's a good guy to talk to and will set you up in the direction you want to go with your car.
