They don't sell the LT4 kit anymore, but it can be peiced together. The LE1 would make the same/more power then the LT4 and the LE2 even more, but less streetable. LE1 would be a good choice.

lloyd offers the LE1 with a emission legal cam that is what i have and it is awsome for the street. i have no problems passing emission. i have full bolt ons and went to the track i ran a 13.3 but broke the 10 bolt and that was on street tires and spun all the way through 2nd gear. i have installed a 12 bolt now but am waiting on my new driveshaft cause it is stock and don't want to break anything else. my car should hit mid to low 12s and i have seen the LE1 package even get into the 11s but not with the emission legal cam.

I would go with LE2 (but i dont have to pass emmision), not that LT4 is bad, but the price to perfomance ratio is better on the LE kits.

but thats only me.

The word streetable is used way to loosly. I cant see why a LE2 or LE3 isnt or is less streetable than *.

LE2 heads for the better flow and components, LE1 cam for the streetability.

If you don't mind the lope, the LE2 cam will make more power up high.

Lloyd has certainly earned the respect of the Fbody online community.
