i have a 65 chevelle with a 95 lt1 in it. i have a 52mm holly tb long tube headers electric water pump tb bypass all msd ignition. i was wounering what u all thought about the stage 3 kit from le iam not worried about streetable becuase i will not drive it all the time but iam trying to get the car in the 12sec range and i think i have the suspention to get there(coilovers boxed controle arms) and with this kit iam hoping it will make the power.also what size push rods are u guys running and what size injectors?

this will tell ya everything you need to know except pushrod size. most will probably tell you to get a length checker

 

The LE3 package will "more" than do what your wanting to, as you can see from my 95 LT1 with the (more conservetive)LE2 package with an LE1 cam in my sig.......Pushrod length should Ideally be checked with everything assembled on your car.....but Most people seem to end up within 50thousanths or so of the stock 7.2 length pushrods.....and as far as brand, the comp Hi-tech pushrods are one of your best choices....and 30 or 36 LB Ford Motorsport injectors should be more than enough for your combo.......good luck with it.......Joe

 

The LE3 package should be more then enough to get you to your goals of 12s. As for the pushrods, get the pushrod length checking tool as mentioned above and go with a set of chromemolys.

 

well looks like i will not be useing the le3 i got an email back from loyd and he said the le3 kit will n ot work on a stock short block so looks like ill get useing the le2 kit instead o well its cheaper anyways lol

 

And probably still more then enough to get you to your goals.

 

what do u guys think about the le2 heads and the gm847 i ask this becuase i have a band new gm847 cam.

 

Why not get the LE2 heads and the LE3 cam.

 

becuase i already have the gm847 cam

 

Lloyd compares his LE3 cam to the GM847. As mentioned above, you would essentially be using an LE3 cam on top of the LE2 heads. Just mention this to Lloyd prior to his services to make sure you have the correct spring application.

 

It's a tad bit bigger than the 847.

 

Yeah but it's still not a good idea to put cams that want to turn 6800rpm for best results and a good life on a stock shortblock.

Joe B has a good example of a smaller cam that works well without RPM and big duration.... just happens to be the cam that is REALLY close to speed_demons. Both are doing 118mph+ in the 1/4.

I'd recommend the LE2 heads and LE1 cam. That will provide a nice running combo overall on a 350ci engine.

 

Yup, your right on that Bret, the LE3 would be better if he was rebuilding to a 355.
