Default Le3

If I put LE3 heads and a gm847 cam on a forged 383 Lt1 will it be to wild for a Daily Driver?

Will it idle crapy and have no low RPM power?

Good idea, but for a DD a LE2 cam would be better to drive and make the same power and more TQ.

As said before the GM847 is an agressive cam for a 350 LT1, it probably won't be enough cam for the application on a 383.

I want to make around 400rwhp and still be able to use it as a daily driver.

Heads and cam have to be matched up. Just get the cam they suggest for the heads. 400rwhp DD is very possible. It's not gonna drive like a cadillac but your in the wrong car if thats what you want

Do the LE2 and LE3 cams give you no low RPM power?
