Default le1 heads cam package

i was thinkin about gettin the le1 h/c package. It says with a 400whp with a few mods. The mods i will have with it will probably be a 52mm tb, k and n intake, airfoil, throttlebody bypass, hooker lt competiton headers, hi flo cat, flowmaster muffler with cutout, and following the h/c a dyno tune. What kind of real wheel hp should i push. What kind of 1/4 should i do with stock 273 gears, with a shift kit. Is this worth purchasing?

the le2 package is the one the might give you 400rwhp the le1 i think its around 370 to 390 depending on supporting mods.I think both of those pacakges are worth the money.

Both are well proven packages. If you really want to do it right your going to need a good stall converter 3200+ (Yank, Percision Industries) and some gear which most will suggest 3:73's. With my cam and the stock 3:23's I'm not satisfied at all. Also when you are considering a heads and cam package remember that this project will nickle and dime you to death. Take it from someone who knows. I'm not trying to discourage you but this isn't like a bolt on mod that generally goes on 1,2,3. It takes planning out! Good luck!

Also ditch the flowmaster, just had a customer recently who found out how bad it was on the dyno.

The best thing to do with the LE packages is to do everything Lloyd suggests for the best power output.
