Default IS LPE219 too much cam for L98 w/LTR's

Would a LPE 74219 be too much cam to run in an otherwise stock L98 with headers, AS&M LTRs and an Accel intake manifold? Just asking because Lingenfelter has them on sale and I was wondering if it would work with this combo when I get to it this winter.

I don't know how to get rid of this poll thing, I didn't mean to start one.

On the occasion I have seen people running the 219 with long tube runners, they ran great.

I'd definitely go for the 219, and if you ever upgrade to the Superram, you'll already be cammed for it.

good luck

I'm with Beach. I'm starting to believe that these tuned ports like more cam than people think.

I'm running a bigger cam than that w/stock intake set-up and stock exhaust manifolds. Runs awesome now, even better once I get new intake and headers. The 219 will be fine, but you'll probably need a new Prom to get back your driveability.
