I just fired mine up this weekend, it is a 383 with le2 heads and le4 cam. The idle is similar to my 350 with the le2 cam, maybe slightly more lope. (I am running this car with downturns off the headers) ...this thing is a beast, quite a bit of surge before 3000 rpm (3.42 t56) after 3k it will let loose. Have not run the car past 5000 yet, (breaking in) but I built this motor to run to 7k ...I think this will put down 430 + hp.

I am running a pretty nasty cam from llyod i know its a quite diff then the le3 but he never mentioned anything about a le4... i do know it is a lil more radical then the le3 and loves spray! sounds nasty on a 107 lsa at 6** lift on a 1.6, Cam pulls hard a mother all the way from about 2500 to 7200
here is a clip after the tune

Yea i thought i was going to laugh when i got to the track!! but it actually held up good and got decent 60's. That pic was the first time i have every ran the car right off the trailer... not transbrake or even preloading the suspension just straight flashing the conv.
An LE4 is a LE3 for a 383. In other words. Lloyds LE3 383 specd cam would be considered an LE4 in a 350. I'm unaware of any "LE4" for a 383. I'm sure he can tweak things a bit depending on an individuals combo but basically the the above info is default.
I was a bit confused about this once myself and spoke to Lloyd about it. This is what he told me.

Ive bought LE cam grinds, best your going to get before spending the cash is 23X/24X etc etc.
When you do spend the cash, the cam card is in the box.
Long story of the short is most people do not really understand cam spec #'s to the point to really matter.
Thats why you give the specs to Lloyd or Bret etc etc and you will rec an answer that should satisfy the needs.

Call Lloyd, he loves to talk to customers and help them make good decisions they will be happy with in the long run.
The man knows his products and he knows what combos work under which conditions.
His cam selection changed recently, you can now see the actual specs before purchasing.
Which actually works out nice and should help deter people with 4100lbs cars and stock
bottom ends from trying to run 24x/24x cams.

All that secret cam stuff
is kinda bogus.IF its a one-off cam then I understand but if its made for the public, then you cant really guard the secret.
