le3 here and i ran a 11.6 in 3500 elevation 
le2 track times
le2 track times i wanted to go with the le3 package but people say its bad for a stock bottom end. However i do not DD my car. So im looking into the le2 package. What times are you guys turning with a le2 and stock bottom end?
i am running a big head and cam package on my car with a stock bottom end. I have no problems but just have to be careful my car revs hard past 7000 rpm which is no no zone on stock rod bearings. I am not sure about the lift numbers on a GM347 but u should be fine as long as you keep the power under control.
I helped install an Le2 package on my friends 95 ta with 50k on it. With bolt on's and 4:11's he went 11.80 in the 1/4 2 weeks ago through an m6. Very impressive package I will be ordering my setup in the next 2 weeks!!
but i seen some posts about not running the le3 on stock bottom ends. I dont see why but for the extra couple hundred bucks id rather by that package. I also got a 3200 stall, built trans and 3.73's. Just askin for heads and cam.

Verdad Gallardo humm, yea good call. Cause he said its like a 847 cam and i know ppl run that 847 cam on stock bottom ends. So good call. Does anyone know a price on the "super le2" package? I emaild him a few times and he never got back to me.
now how are these packages for upper rpm power. I got WAY more then enough low end power but i need upper rpm power bad! I deff. dont mind loosing some low end to gain high end. So how are these le2/le3 for upper rpm power? Anyone got a dyno graph to show?
maybe i am going crazy i cant find anything about lloyd elliot. i hear good things about the le2 and le3 packages but i cant find any info on purchasing them. is there a reason for me not finding a place to buy them.

Lloyd told me that the stock piston do not have the valve reliefs to clear the larger valves that are installed on the LE3 heads. Therefore making them a no no on a stock bottom end. Otherwise if the bottom end is rebuilt with piston containing valve reliefs I would assume you would be fine.
ok, makes more sence now. Looks like ill do the le2 heads with the le3 cam. Now dumb question, but you figure $250 for a cam, making the heads $1500. Now would it be better/more power if i bought like a 847 cam and some trick flow heads or something? $1500 for stock casting heads seems a bit steep to me.
The custom cams Lloyd sells are a billet core so they cost a bit more. The Trickflow heads would need to be milled down alot due to the large combustion chambers they come with. Talk with Lloyd if you have any questions.
ok, now thoes packages are with new heads right? I dont send mine to him and he builds mine up. So i could still sell my heads for a couple bucks, making the package yet a little cheaper. If i need to send in mine, thats even more expensive for my heads built up ya know.
