All your profile has is "US Resident". What is your location, what are you working on, what is your budget? What are your goals? What do you currently have done?

Depending on what you have or what you hope to do, the 74219 cam is good or maybe not worth it.

Sorry never filled out that stuff out.. I dont have a vette but do have a 3rd gen Camaro we built a copy of the lpe 383 I used a 4 bolt main 350 into a 383 fully forged stroker took a set of 113 heads that were done by tpis in 1998 which flow 250 cfm ported and polished I'm using the lpe219 cam with 1.6 roller rockers and using a first performance intake with a 76 mm TB ported by ken at 1st using a new Holley hp efi system for tuning I figured ask here because I saw alot of guys used the lpe219 cam with the 113 heads wanted to know how it should perform and hp ideas...thanks.

It should behave fairly stock in a 383. You'd probably peak in the low 5000 rpm range (first limited not cam) It'll drive well and have good manners. I'd say low 300s at the wheels to be conservative. Hard to say exactly though. Not super familiar with the first ti be sure how well it flows.

I can say it worked well with the Superram in a 350 but with tuning, it became great. It was designed for a 383 but again, not sure of the First intake. With the Superram, it was very streetable.

It is in a 383 with the Corvette heads 113s 2.00 x 1.60 valves that flow 250 cfm similar to lpe 113 heads.. from everything I've read on the first is they flow 300 cfm and I had the TB ported and polished I was told it flows over 1000 cfm car has 36 lb injectors, Holley dual sync distributor no more batch fire worked 700r4 with a vigilante 9.5 in billet 2800 stall convertor a s60 dana rear from strange with 3.54 gears it should have alot of torque and I think hp should be decent all powered by a Holley hp efi system

well it seems to rev very fast and doesnt seem to stop pulling anywhere near 5k rpm...

And I was asking about the cam more honestly on how they performed.. I've seen some nice builds with them.

Again... depends. The runner length works adversely on you the further you get from its op range. TPI is low 5000 first very well could be around 6k.

If it is 2 inches that could be 6000 rpm ceiling. You'd have to do the math for the tuned frequency and then the wave cancelation at 180 degrees stock vs that to see the difference. I recall seeing a dyno sheet where that intake hits a rpm and still just nosedives though. Again. May have been over 6k.

Youre a little ways up there Jackson, im in Jackson.

Jackson like by toms river ? We go to atco alot too.

All the dynos I've ever seen it was the cam that limited the intake but there really isnt anything on these we found it at a swap meet for 125 bucks ken at first performance said send it to him to take a look at it when he received it it was one of the 1st air sensors intake way before Ken at 1st took over he totally restored it for us no charge I'm into this intake for a total of around 200 for purchase and paying shipping charges for that price I'll give it a try..lol he even ported the TB for no charge...



I'm looking for mid to low 12s car weighs 3400 with driver it has the right stall convertor I think the right gears..and all tubular suspension

What do you think?

If I lived near Atco, I'd be there ALL the time! We had a track...a nice one that was run like poo. High elevation kind of sucks. Then the track went out of business (run like poo part). So now we got 'Vegas, 5 hours away, or Boise, 5 hours away. Both ~2200' elevation.

I go to the blue moon shows in Howell. A friend does a show in freehold. When I was little I used to go with dad to cruise night in freehold boro and the shows at the outlets. But I haven't really gotten out last year due to work and school. I graduated from Rowan (well what was considered graduation anyway) and am familiar with atco though I've never been. Englishtown is only a 15-20 minute drive from my house so had it stayed open I'd be there lol.

Edit: I should clarify. I'm half an hour from Etown but meeting up with everyone I would go with makes it 15-20. Thats better.

Also, I guess since you're using a holley most shops don't mind tuning?

Had a 355, AFR 190s, LPE 219 cam, SuperRam in my full weight daily driver IROC back in the day, 3.42 gears out back. Ran 12.1s consistantly and might have been able to dip into the 11s with more tuning.
