LE3 h/c vs. Adv. Ind. 200cc h/c

I don't make shoulda, coulda, woulda, statements about my car.
All I have said was that I will continue working towards my 10 second N/A goal.

I'm right with you. I feel the same way when anyone with ported heads (done by a reputable person/place) and a cam do that.

Appreciate it, thanks
I will say that my heart sinks when I see an LE car trapping barely 110 or just above. I'm starting to think that the owners are either broke, or clueless... or both.
My engine/car was put together in my garage, but nothing special y'know? I fail to see where other people are screwing up.. for God's sake I have a mail order tune!

i saw a post on ls1tech about a guy building a LE3 OR 4 (if there is such a thing) 383. he is hoping for (having trouble remembering) maybe 450rwhp at the lowest. some of you made posts in his thread, as did i. like they say, the proof is in the pudding (whatever they meant by that). well, all we can do is set back and watch and see if AI's newest head setup makes more power than mine will. the website is kind of out dated, if you have been looking for info. you might want to call and ask about it

I think both offer a great product and you can't go wrong with either. I have had LE heads, I considered CNC'd castings from Ai, but had a bad experience with them. All companies have nutswingers, thats what happens in the high performance industry. The debate will go on forever, but my take is that the difference is negligable, honestly do you guys think that there is some mysterious thing that makes one better then the other by more then +/-10hp....i think they are very comparable. Also there are so many hypocrites in both camps, bickering from some saying that LE's proven dyno numbers don't mean anything if they don't run some super time at the track, but are quick to throw out dyno numbers from an Ai car. Traps are an indication of power, but its not as universal as they would have you think, a proper setup car will out MPH a poorly setup car with more power. Look at shon herrons car, trap speeds are awesome for a bolt on car thats setup well, out mphs some H/C or cam only cars out there. The fact of the matter is, that heads don't make a car 60ft better, or shift better, or transfer weight. Both companies are dyno proven performers, the rest of the setup is up to you to do.

I never said either wasn't a top product. I decided years ago what I wanted and it will help me decide what I will do for my next setup. however, a nice engine dyno could really put some myths to rest... and youre right... make new ones for more controversy.

The one thing I just don't understand is this ongoing fad of posting up peak dyno numbers and nothing else.

My buddies old daily driver formula with LE3 cam'd, old le3 heads(smaller valves) went 121 mph in not so great da, with a BASE PCMFORLESS tune, stock 10 bolt w/ 208k miles on it, and on drag radials. Never weighed the car, but was probably around 3500lbs. It's sad he never finished the car, I wanted to see some 124-125mph traps out of it.
