Ive got the LE3 package on a set of LT4 heads. Very nice setup. If you have some money, I would suggest picking up a set of LT4 heads and send those down to him to work on. Or if you have lots of money get a set of AFRs and send down to him. Quality work

I'm running LE3 LT4 heads with a LE2ish cam for the #'s in sig. The package works very well IMO.

What are your goals for the car? and what rpm do you want to spin the thing to? I have had great results with ported stock LT1 castings with 2.00/1.56 valves (LPE/E.B. Porting) matched with a relatively small Joe Overton specd cam (226/234)...I shift at 6300 and run the times in my sig (so far, we are still optimizing everything) and it makes a great street car that can be driven anywhere and still gets 20 mpg on the highway...I dyno'd at just under 400rwhp on a Mustang Dyno, but its just a number as the track mph is the ultimate "dyno" and I'm right up there with guys running way bigger cams...

Pick someone with a combo that works and pick their brain...CNCStew^^^ has a pretty nasty set up...

Merry Christmas...

I have 480 RWHP with the AI 200cc heads on my 355. These are CNC ported stock LT-1 castings.
