Actually, Bret Bauer specs Lloyd's cams now. Care to explain why his head work is ****? Cant wait to see what kind of numbers Joe's heads put out for a $700 port job.

Seeing as how you are trying to be a harda$$ and publicly display the specs, why would someone buy it from you? They can just order one from comp cam for similar price and just use the same lobes you spec'd. See, if you had half a brain, you'd realize this. Now you just lost a ton of money because your gonna get low balled or get no offers. Have a good day.

Goodluck with your sale. By the way, I made 383rwhp on a mailorder tune and all motor. Your trying to compare your hotcam and a 75 shot of n2O!! Funny stuff. I am on my 2nd set of heads from lloyd and they were both done very well. By the way, how much is Joe charging for his head work?

What does the HP your car makes have anything to do with talking stating an opinion???


Let me guess, you want a bigger cam than the LE1 for the rough idle?


And 383 HP with a 75 shot and a hot cam is pretty low. You were only about 308HP N/A. Thats like a bolt on car. Most are getting about 330 out of a hotcam setup.

Re: Custom Lt1 Cam

If the heads are still new and the cam is still new, I am interested i them. We have changed the specs a lil on that cam but that on still worked well. If it is new, I am interested.

If they are used, most people are happy with the performance for the $$$ spent on an $1100 to $1300 LE1 package. That package is usually good for 370 RWHP or so with a CAI, 58 MM TB, 30 lb inj., 1 3/4 headers, no cats, good exhaust and GOOD tuning. How much power did your car make with ALL of these parts? You do have ALL of these parts, right?

If you wanna sell the heads and cam, that is cool. There is no reason to make up stuff about the portwork and leaky valve job. I am sure if there was a real problem you would have contacted me about resolving the problem.

It is just plane ignorant to talk bad about something you are selling, LOL. Good luck on that one.

Joe does good cams and he was doing them for me for a while but as far as anyone coppying a cam, that is crazy. Just get one of Joes cams and some of his heads and as long as you have ALL of the complimenting parts and GOOD tuning, the car will run great. The same goes for most head and cam packages including mine.

Re: Custom Lt1 Cam

ok...i usualy dont get involved in stuff like this, but here goes.

first sorry if this pisses you off but... i dont care, and futher more i dont think anyone else does either. so you ought to heed to constructive critisim.

ok... you sound like a 16 year old punk kid whos parents bought the h/c packeage for him because hes spoiled, and you thought you were going to make a 1000rwhp, and now your pissed,

the sad part is we can live with that,

the part we cant live with is the fact that you came on here bashing someones work, that everyone that has done any bussiness with him as been satisfied with and have made power with it.

and you didnt call him and give him a chance to make it right or at least make you happy.

i have a set of his heads and they have probably the best flow numbers (low and mid) that ive seen. ive sold loyd stock heads and have done other bussiness with him and he has always been honest and straight forward. i dont see him changing that. i acctually brought him a set of heads that had a "real good valve job " them, he told me the valves wont seat and he wont put his work on those heads. so i doubt you have problems with his heads, more likely a problem wit yourself. just my opinion.

now as far as bretts cams i dont know, they seem to be doing well, but i wanted a joe overton cam and it should be here any day, nothing against brett. i talked to brett on the phone and he was very helpful. sounded like someone i woundnt mind doing business with. but my mind was made up. on the cam.

he makes a honest living doing good work, i talked to joe overton on the phone for about an hour and a half. i he had nothing but great things to say about loyd and his work. and when i sent him my flow numbers he was really impressed, and told me me 430 rwhp should not be a problem.

so now your pissed and are going to joe for heads and cam. but joe thinks loyd does great work. hmmm....kinda hypicritical, just another opinion...

but you shouldnt put his specs up on the board its just a sing of disrespect, which buy your attitude, doesnt surprise me.

i bet if you called loyd and told him he would still make it right, (just guessing) i assure you thats more than i would do for you now. but your not doing bussiness with me, thank god.

well i wish you the best on your new venture with the new heads and cam. joe does good work to, but for heads ill go back to loyd again, just as alot of people have done.

remember im not calling you names in this post, just stating what im seeing.

Re: Custom Lt1 Cam

Fastlane,

I just found another post where you are trying to buy soem 30 ;lb injectors.

I guess that answers the question if you had all of the complimenting parts or not. LOL.

Anyway, I am guessing that we went with the LE1 cam since you had no stall, mild gears, wanted low and mid range power and a 6200 RPM shift point or just because you hade $1100 to spend on heads AND cam. Other wise we would have went with a more aggressive package that would have costed more $$$.

Joe is a bad *** cam grinder but if he is designing a cam that will work with stock gears, no stall, make great low and mid range power and only pull to 6200 RPM and then package that with some heads too for $1100 that will make 415-430 RWHP, that is bad ***. Especially if you are using stock inj. and fuel pump.

Joes cams have always made great power but those HP #'s with the limiting factors mentioned would make it a VERY tough goal.

Calling my work ***t and cams a "copy" is just crazy. Everyone else seems to make them work fine and no one has complained about the portwork looking bad, LOL. Most are impressed.

It looks like you decided to go a lil more aggressive. Maybe you have a better budget now, bought a stall, better gears or maybe you are gonna listen to Joe and get all of the complimenting parts you need as well as good tuning. If so, you will be happy with just about anyones heads and cam, especially of Joe is the one designing the cam and giving you a list of complimeting parts.

You could have some Larry Meaux ported AFR 210's and a solid roller but if you are running stock inj., stock fuel pump, etc, etc, the car will NEVER be fast or make good power. Most already know this but I guess you are still learning.

Re: Custom Lt1 Cam

ok here we go.......i did have the H/C set up........now i was about to put the kit on and then me and my tech saw that the vavle was hanging over the deck of the head......that raised eyebrow # 1...........then a friend of mine is getting his motor done by joe.....now i new lyod and joe used to have a Professional partnership or something of that nature......anyway i went to Joe's shop to double check and see if these heads will work well and to see if there is ne problems with them......he looked at them and saw that the port job was rough and the vavles were not seated right.....then he looked at the cam.....looked at the cam card and noticed it was almost the same as one of his cam specs.....so that raised eyebrow #2......well then i asked joe what can you do for me....he said don't worry about it i will take care of you just sell that cam and i will build you a new setup that will be a killer.....i said ok......thanks.....so in my eyes it is a copy cat......i just wanna sell the thing.....and yes i am going more aggressive the only thing that will still be stock this season is the bottom end everything else is changing....that is also the fuel system ( fuel pump and 30# injectors. Thats all i feel raped due to the fact i bought a ****ty H/C setup....now who's fault is that well it's mine.....but i have the right to speak my mind if I want......

now to a different issue i am not just a little 16 yr old kid....i'm a grown man....age 16 was a long time ago..

also if people are gonna buy something i think they want to know what there getting that is why i posted the specs....and once again lyodd if you don't want people to know then don't leave the cam card in the box take it out.....i'm not saying the cam is bad i'm just saying the the heads are...the cam look pretty nice....i just don't want it......everyone i talked to said joe and lyod aren't getting along becuase lyod is coping joe's stuff....joe himself said that....also i trust someone who has a lt1 in the 9's on motor only.....with the new setup i will be alot more faster then with lyod's thats all.....no need get your panties in a bunch...... the cam just has to go bottom line
