LE1 with LE2 Cam

What kind of numbers can I expect to see with LE1 heads and LE2 cam.

You'll reach towards 400rwhp, it looks like you have most of the supporting mods you need (intake, exhaust)
Don't forget to have it tuned and use quality gaskets, injectors, bolts and rockers.
(and degree the cam, I can't stress that enough)

Why not use the LE2 heads? The're a much better bang for the buck
especially if you are going with the more agressive cam.

I understand completely, I was thinking along the same lines when I did mine.
But, given the work involved and cost of the whole project, I decided I would
probably end up regretting it later if I didn't use the LE2 heads.

FWIW, Bret Bauer (the guy who makes cams for Lloyd's heads) convinced me to use the better heads.
He told me that the LE2 heads are the best bang for the buck for many reasons.
He said that he's seen the make 15-20hp over a LE1 head in the same setups

Either way, you will love the way your car feels with the new cam in there.
I think Javier described it as "running like a Raped Ape" LOL

Were you going to stick with the stock torque converter or go with a higher stall?
She'll run ok with the stocker, but the higher stall really makes a difference.
I took the engine out to do my heads/cam install, so adding a TC just made sense.

I would guess you would be in the 380-390 range. I would ask Lloyd himself, I'm sure he can give you a pretty accurate projection.
