LPE 219 or Crane 2032 Compucam w/ Superram?

I currently have a crane compucam model 2032 installed with my superram. Got a good price on it at the time I needed a cam. Using 1.5 roller rockers and seem to have quite abit of power...

Anyone out there know what I would gain from going with the LPE 219 cam. Is there going to be a major difference in power...few economy...etc...also..would replacing my current 1.5's with 1.6's do anything spectacular?

LPE - (.560/.560 lift w/ 1.6's, 219/219 duration @ .050

CRANE - .452/.465 lift w/ 1.5's 214/220, 112 LSA


Any feedback would be appreciated!

Don't know what you'd gain going from the Crane to the LPE 219. If you get some times, it'll be easier to say. I would think it'd be a decent but not huge amount, mainly b/c of the lift numbers and the fact that the LPE is more aggressive.

As for 1.5 or 1.6 rr's, I'd guess a difference of 5 HP.

Definately go with the LPE cam. I have a Comp Cam with 210/220 .50/.51 and 114LSA and it's killing my power.

I would agree that it will make more power, not sure how much, probobly enough to justify doing it. SR's like single pattern cams (if the heads agree, if your heads have a weak exhaust port, you may want to stick to a split duration), and the 219 offers much more lift, even with 1.5s= .525
I myself am planning on switching from my hotcam to either the LPE 219 or a 224/224 grind, not sure yet.

1.6 Roller rockers with your current cam should help out a bit!

I'd be interested in purchasing your Crane 2032 if you decide to go with the LPE. I think it would great in a combo I am putting together (350, Vortec Heads, SDPC TPI Base, TES Edelbrock Headers, No Cat)

I'd take the 219 over the 2032. I made 300 rwhp with the 2032 and superram, but never dynoed the 219 cam.

is the 219 C.A.R.B. rated. I didn't see a reference to that on the LPE website.

It does not have a CARB EO#, but it has been known to pass CA smog quite easily.

Oh yeah, I also vote for the 219 cam!

I had a 219 cam in my '91 Formula and it passed California emissions easy.

Still wish I hadn't sold that car
