converting from lsx to ltx Well it seems that since i have gotten rid of my 98 c5 i have had an itch to get back into something fast. After looking at all my options a 5k car payment sounds much better than a 18k car payment for a newer z06. so heres what i want to know. I have narrowed the search down to a 97 ta ws6 m6 car w/55k on it. already has equal lengths off road ypipe and a cat back, 52mm throttle body and 4.10s. Heres what i plan for the car, moser 12 bolt w/3.90's kooks 1 7/8 not sure but want true duals and a le2 or 3 package. I do not want a small cam, i repeat i do not want a small cam, i went 228/228 .566/.568 on a 112 w/ my 98 c5 and was not happy, i drove a ls1 f-body w/a cam in the 240's and way over .600's. i liked everything about that cam,i am going to stay stock internals till something goes. So what i want to know is w/ the le2 setup what is the biggest i can go and does someone have some dyno #'s on a cam w/stock bottom end around the biggest you can go? w/having the 5k car payment i can dump so much more $$$ into this thing but spending the last 3 years learning about the lsx i didnt spend much time on lt motors, and i know i prolly will be a lil disapointed going from a c5 to a f-body i have always wanted a f-body especailly a lt1 ws6 or ss thanks for the help guys

Well if you're going with the le2 setup the le2 cam is probably your best bet.
Lloyd doesn't give out the specs but he advertises it as making more power than the gm847 which is 234/242 .575/.595 so it's probably bigger than that.
Just give him a call and talk about what you want, I'm sure he will give you a recommendation based on that.
edit: my bad actually it's the le3 that he says makes more than the gm847. The le2 is supposed to make more power than the cc306.

i put down 382 rwhp with le2 heads / gm847 cam through a slipping auto, stock injectors, stock t/b, unported intake manifold, and i was blowing out the spark in the upper rpms. 400 hp is easily attainable with a 6 speed car. im hoping to get that out of my auto.

just because it is more "suited" for a bigger ci motor does not mean it shouldnt work for a stock ci motor, eventually i will build a 383/396 not sure or hell should i just save a lil more and buy me a ls1 and drop it in?

It was stalled at the time with a PATC Super Street Raptor 2800 Converter. The tranny took a dump the day i got it dynoed. I replaced it with a CPT Pro Race 4L60E and a Fuddle Racing 9.5 inch 3400 stall. This winter, its getting pulled and restalled to 4000.
