wHAT HEAD AND CAM PACKAGE
I can think of two other guys who offered their LE2 setups for sale at 3000 miles in the last few months. Both of them had to sink hundreds into repairing them first. How about you?
dunno the car doesn't blow smoke and ran fine uhh I dunno what you want to hear.. Im going to a LSX car I'v come to the place in time where its stupid to finish this project because LSX's are the future (Had to edit this in) nothing against any of the LTX guys here the cars are awsome and sound even better but the aftermarket just isnt gonna be there anytime soon if ever and we all know what im sayin
you blame opti installs on user error, why cant these le heads/cam be a user error also? i think ryan is parting his entire car out....thats why ge is getting rid of his. ive had good luck with mine thus far. only have 1500 miles on the setup, but what makes your ai heads more superior than lloyds?
If you are of the opinion that LE stuff is junk, I don't think you will find many here who share that assessment. Regardless of what may happened with a few people selling theirs or whatever, LE's stuff has been proven to work well MANY times over a period of years.
The #s do look good, although TEA does have kind of a reputation for being a ***** for flow #s, so I would like to see some real results from those.

A friend of mine has TEA trickflows on his SR 355 LT-1. Still workin out the bugs... Another friend of mine has a 421ci ls1 and made 533 on motor with TEA/Rapid Motorsports cam combo...
Do you have any first hand experience with his stuff or are you just going by what you read online? I've had both sets of heads on my car and I can say without a doubt that AI and LE aren't even remotly close to the same in terms of quality and performance, not to mention I also gained 24rwhp with a miss over my LE2 setup and that includes going back to a stock intake manifold vs a ported one with my le2 setup.
I don't have it on my car, but I know people who do and have rode in their cars. And yes I've read plenty online also. That's what this forum and others are for, to share knowledge and experience. And I think you would have a hard time making the case that a large number of people have not been completely satisfied with LE's stuff. I'm not saying it's the best, there is no "best" imo. It all depends on what you want and how well you build it, but there is overwhelming evidence that lots of people running LE's stuff have had good results.
AI seem to have a good product, but I get tired of reading about how nobody else in this entire solar system can even compair to their work. Are they a sponsor to this web site? Hell no, they don't need to as much as their product gets pimp'd here. At first all you would read about here is that the LT1 heads were "superior" to the LT4 heads, until AI started porting them as well. Also there was no aftermarket head that could compaire to the AI stock ported castings, until they started porting the Trick Flow castings. Alot of the short fallings that are blaimed on the other heads out there are due to mismatched parts for the job or installation error, in my opinion. Sorry for the rant but this subject always gets my blood pumping.

And the guy who specs out the LE cam's got banned from this site for unadvertised soliciting, and the same thing on cz28.com combined wtih scamming a guy out of a $13k engine.
