Anyone know what's going on with these guys? I've been sending them emails and texts for weeks with very few results. I tried calling them but it it goes straight to voicemail. I left a message with no response. I'm trying to discuss an upcoming engine build with them but I can't get a hold of anyone.

 

They are busy, I talked with them a few weeks back about some LS stuff.

 

I want them to do the work on my build but if I can't get a hold of them, I'll have to go with someone else

 

I really wanted a set of the LT1 190cc heads from them. Their heads are a piece of art work, too bad they are almost impossible to talk too..

 

Honestly with AI's more recent track record on LT1 stuff, I would not consider them unless you're ok waiting up to a year. That may sound crazy but it has happened to their customers, they will not tool up for LT1 stuff until they feel it is worth it (ie: enough people lined up).

 

At this point, thier lack of communication with me has pretty much steered me away from using thier heads. Looks like I'll be going with afr 210cc. I really just need a cam from them. Starting to think I should just go to lloyd.

 

They won't just do a cam. I've asked. They will only do heads or heads and cam. Then the wait is crazy stupid. Their communication is horrable. Feel free to look it up.
Id go with LE Trick Flow heads and you don't have to pay for a LT4 intake then have it ported.

 

The "right" way to run AFR 195 and larger heads is with an LT4 intake but many people have gotten by with the stock LT1 intake.

 

That sucks, I was wanting to buy one of their cams but if that's the case, I'll be calling Lloyd Elliot as well.

 

Ive never tuned any A I setups but I can tell you that I have tuned many Lloyd Elliot combos and the HP and TQ curve is always flat as a board to the redline, Give Lloyd a call and he will get you going.

 

I can understand AI's position, but sad nonetheless.

 

I already have an LT4 intake so that won't be an issue.

 

x2!

I have also tuned several of Lloyds setups. ALL ended up running very strong. LLoyd did the Assault Racing heads I have on the L31 in my Express van. Also did the 5.3 heads I have on a LQ4.

 

I spoke with Lloyd today. I'll be going with his stuff

 

so unless there is some local person you may know, LE is the only route left for us boat anchors? is that the conclusion here?

 

Thanks for pointing that out. Now I'm going to go cry in the shower.....

 

So what are you going to go with?

 

make room, ima join you.

 

There’s still Lingenfelter, however they may be in the same arena as AI since they are all about everything LS. However they don’t sell any aggressive heads/cam packages for LT SBC, but I believe still do heads.

 

Im actually really interested in the Lingenfelter Heads now. Hard to find good CNC heads . I will call then tomorrow and report back if they mention they still do our dinosaur lt1 heads.
