I finally finished my forged 11.8:1 385 LE2.2. I stuck a tune in it from a XFI 268 Cam 383. Wasn't exact but will do until I get into FLP.

The good. Sounds great, pulls real hard with 4.10s, raps unbelievably fast!

The bad, 1st time I went wot in 2nd gear, my built 10 bolt went boom!

So yes, so far LE2.2 is good for me.

Sorry to hear about the 10-bolt, but that shows you what kind of numbers your putting down
Can't wait to hear how she does with a little fine tuning, it's gonna run like a raped ape.

And with a foged bottom end, there's always N20 when you get bored of 4xx rwhp and 11sec ETs

 

Thanks and you're right. I am very happy this happened near home home instead of 3 hours away next Wednesday on FLP's Dyno!! Or on the front straight at Road America! Funny you mention N2O, I also have a NX Wet kit. I'll keep it under 175 shot thoough. That why I kept the DCR down to 9.0 instead of 9.5 like I was going to do. I am hoping for 11.90's in road race trim on the funny stuff. Seams reasonable.

 

at least 340ish rwhp that's all my 10-bolt took before it filed a formal complaint.

 

Mine was handling 500/550 on spray for a few months, its all in how they are built. Of course the last time I changed the fluid I found broken spider gears on my eaton differential...

 

Let us know what she pulls on the dyno when you get it to FLP.

 

yes! another LE2.2 monster! Just have back from my beat run/datalog gotta love it pulls crazy hard.

 

Sounds great. I went with the LE3.2 for my 383. If you do that good with the 2.2 i can only imagine how this is going to be. I am going with 4.10s also..looks like my rear might not last that long i see...I had planned on getting a built one anyway just want this one to last as long as it can. I am putting every mod i can think of on the engine and doing all the suspension while i am doing this bulid. Then transmission and rear are next on the list.

 

Welcome to the broken 10 bolt club. Oh and the Heads/Cam/Stroker club too.
