So I now have my complete LE top end.

Custom grind 237/245 .603/.611 110 LSA Cam
Fully ported intake
21* fully ported trickflows with 2.055in 1.60ex valves, 7/16th studs
216cc
They look even better than the intake.

What do you guys think?

What's the volume and flow on those? Just curious.

I emailed Lloyd as soon as I got them. Just waiting for him to email me the flow chart and the final CC.
They are supposed to be at 215cc and from what I have seen from others results, they flow about 300cfm. Plenty of head for my little 353.

I'll post up the final numbers once he gets back to me.

This is my first time working with Lloyd. Class act.

You should really see this work in person. I know you said he worked on your last set, but to see these trickflows and what he did to them, its amazing. I went to Summit and looked at the display model of these heads and they don't compare to what they look like now.

Ugh! I hate you! Congrats on your buy. Nice, real nice. So what was the final cost if you don't mind me asking. I'm just trying to save up for a set myself.

Wow, we have very similar builds going on with almost the same exact head. I just receive my Trick Flow 23* heads from AI. They are also 215cc and going on my 355. My cam is little bigger then yours but that may hurt me more then help but it is what it is. Im interested in the differences between the two heads. I will start my own thread tomorrow and show mine. Your port work looks, lets just say different then mine but then again Im no head expert.

It should look different. Two different sets of heads and one was hand ported, the other CNC'd. Looking at mine for a day, let me tell you, these things are a work of art. I'll keep everyone posted. They are getting bolted on to my forged shortblock this weekend.

If you don't mind me asking, how big of a cam are you running in your 355? Lloyd and I discussed it, and my optimal shift point is should be right around 7000. Any bigger and I wouldn't be able to spin it high enough due to the factory pcm limitations.

You can get a set of these heads fully ported by Lloyd for about $2000. I added even larger intake valves with a new valve job which added another $200. They can be as expensive as you want to make them depending on what hardware you want to add.

Been a while since I looked at mine but I swear he didnt port through where the rocker stud is on mine. It looks like he did on yours just wondering. Also he said mine were only 205cc not 215, after the porting. Other wise they look just like mine do. I cant wait to hear the results.

He does to an extent. If you upgrade the intake valve, the valve job that he applies to the heads he claims adds about 5cc's. I'm sure there are other factors too.

Thanks! I've got high hopes for my small cube LT1! I'll be running the car in street trim, so I won't exactly be maximizing its potential. And I think I may have just DQ'd myself from the LTX Shootout ES and ESPA classes----->Dual cutouts :(

I'm running dual electric cuouts and after that I run through a y-pipe and magnaflow catback. This is meant to be a street car first and a track car second, so I didn't want to lose any ground clearance and I wanted to be able to keep it relatively quiet when I'm just DD-ing the car.

Probably no chance they would make an exception for a second cutout would they? It's not like I'm bringing a ringer or anything. I'm running 30-40 less cubes than a lot of the people at the shootout, not to mention I'm not running slicks and skinnies and I'm worried my y-pipe/catback will hold my engine back quite a bit. A person running 1 7/8" headers with bullets and dumps would be flowing better than my 1 3/4" pacesetter with cutouts. Any way to get a vote to see if I am allowed to participate with the extra cutout?

I highly doubt it man, If it were my car I would just leave it that way it is... I had an issue with my car not being legal in the aspect that the rear arb bar i run is illegal because it doesn't have the poly urethane bushings like the UMI and BMR "extreme" ones have... so all i'm doing is stealing my buddies UMI one for the shootout and running it and taking my mwc one off for the meantime... they can't change every single rule to the shootout and make exceptions. plus open cutouts is almost like having open headers and they want it running through an exhaust with mufflers... i would leave it the way it is, or if your were hell bent on making it being as efficient as possible, i would ditch the catback and run a bullet right off your y pipe. plus with them 21* heads and 600 lift plus cam you won't need cut outs :D just throttle!

Maybe by the time the shootout comes around, I'll just take the y-pipe and catback off and throw some bullets off the back of my cutout pipes and keep the electric cutouts closed. Shouldn't be that hard.

I hope it runs hard! I regularly run in 2500-3000 DA around here and I'd like to be able to break 120mph traps at Thompson Raceway Park.

I'd like to think the car will be capable of 10.90's on motor. I'm keeping the stall speed reasonable for street driving and I'll be running drag radials and full size tires up front. It will be a few months until I get something better than a 10-bolt in it, so I'll have to be easy on it for a while.

Realistically, if it runs 11.20's-11.30's at Thompson I'll be happy. At least I know I could probably make a few tweaks and get it to 10's from there.

So I talked to LE about your port sizes being 215 and mine 205. He said after porting so many they decided to open them up more. Not sure how much more it helps over the 205 port though. I never got a flow sheet with mine but he said they flowed about what yours did.

I'm sure there is a slight benefit. May not be a ton, but after having so much experience with a head, I'm sure he has refined his port design for these castings. Flow doesn't show the whole picture.

I just got the car hauled back to town. In a couple of days the engine will be long blocked and I can start bolting on the accessories, coil packs and exhaust. Once I get the vacuum lines and custom plug wires made it'll be ready to put in. Just have to order a crank pulley hub, spark plugs and all the pieces for my plug wires. Should be good to go after that.
