Default LPE 216 roller cam

Anyone using this cam? I know the 219 cam is a favorite with the super ram set up and the 211 cam is suggested for a mild daily driver. The 216 cam has less lift than the 211 or 219.
211: 211/219, .530/.560 @.050 / 1.6 rockers
216: 213/219, .493/.502 @.050/ 1.6
219: 219/219, .560/.560 @.050/ 1.6
I'm not sure what the LSA is. I think its 112.
I was considering the 216 for a "mild" 383 daily driver. I have a set of LPE TPI runners and accel base. I will be using 1 5/8" long tubes also.

thats a good question. i have the 219 with my SR setup, and mine's in fact a daily driver. and i love it there's nothing radical about any of them, including the 219.

yeah i agree, there is nothing radical about the 219.

infact, i have a few friends.....when they asked me what cam i am planning to go with, i told them 219/219, and they said, "that's it".


i did buy the cam, but if i go the 383 route i will be selling it, as the 219 wont come close to 400RWHP in a 383 imo.
