Single Digit Guys Inside Need alittle input. I plan on building a 383 this winter. All Lunati bottom end, Huge Custom grind HR cam, and a 300 shot DP nitrous. Talked to Lloyd, and AI. Both told me different things as far as what heads to run. I have the LE2 heads on my car now, and Lloyd said I will be just fine with them and ill only see about a 15 hp gain from the heads I have now over a set of Trickflows. AI on the other hand begs to differ and feels like selling me a set of $2400 heads. Now if there is going to be a huge difference here ill cough up the dough and buy the heads, but I just feel AI wants my money because if it were the case of ported Trickflows being so wonderful over the stockers, why wasnt Lloyd trying to sell me a pair of his ported Trickflows or AFR's? Im shooting for very low 10's / high 9's. Think its possible?

Im pretty bored myself. My shift is almost up though. THANK GOD! If you ever get bored and see me on AIM dont hesitate to shoot me an IM. 
Hell im signed on now but away. Shoot me an IM so I have it. I get bored at night myself when im not at work. Anyways lets get this topic back on track.... Well I have been running Lloyds heads for a few years, have had LE2's, LE Trickflows and now have LE3's, they all work and I have been low 10's on with LE2's and a 175shot, 9.80's, TrickFlow's and 200shot. Now with the LE3's and a solid roller 11.00@121mph on motor but will spray it soon to see what it will do. Goodluck Clint

I am running a set of Lloyd's heads(LE-X) and they will support what he says they will. Only thing been holding my car back is time n the seat and time in the tune. I am so busy tuning other peoples cars I never realy get time to tune mine
If I had a trans brake it would probably be faster yet. I am still foot brakeing a 4L60E.
You should be good

The ports on your heads are pretty big, but if i recall, you have stock valves. If so, and it was me, I would just send them back to LE and have the stock valves replaced with bigger race valves ( back cut + swirl ) then I think they will support your needs. I'd build the motor with those and use the $2400 towards a rear and suspension to support the power your going to be making.
Also remember 9's mean a whole new set of rules to be NHRA compliant: full cage, certified, nets, chutes, ect, ect ect..... That's why I plan to stop at 10 flat.

If you want a bad *** head go to EB porting. Ive got stock LT1 heads with a medium hyd roller cam and put 427 down to the wheels. By the way that was stock pcm and stock intake and 11.2:1 CR. Nothing drastic. Depending on your budget I'd look at AFR220's, Accel DFI ,and and a nasty solid roller 10 thousand bucks later you could be in the 9's all motor

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I already have a direct port intake on the way, and a few other goodies.
John - the heads are a full out le2 head w/ bigger valves all ready to go.

The AI Trickflows are nasty heads. I would cough up some coin for a set of heads like that.
Your going to probly need to go SR if you plan on hitting it with 300hp. Thats a lot of work for a hyd. setup.
