Default Lingenfelter 219 question

There was a thread a couple of weeks back that reported a misground 219 cam that was difficult to degree in and consequently had poor performance.

Anyone else have this experience? Does this happen often with Lingenfelter cams?

Thanks for any info.

I would say no also. That would be the first one I had heard about, but missed the post (or at least missed that paragraph). I have heard NUMEROUS times about this happening from TPiS. So much that it completely turned me off from even considering their ZZ-9 or ZZ-X camshafts.

I have many friends with 211/219. This would the first I've ever heard anything like this about any of the LPE cams, and I've been surfing forums and mailing lists for the LT1 since 96.
