Doesn't even look like a roller cam to me... thought roller cams didn't have that much of a point on the lobes and were more rounded.

it is, that is the LPE 219, it is a pretty good cam, and alot of people really like it. takes some pretty descent mods to run that cam though, not a great match for stock TPI.

I don't know what kinda cam you'd get sent if you bought it but that is definately not a roller cam in the pictures. Like cartman said, the lobes look too pointy and a roller cam with that much lift doesn't have the much material off the core of the cam on the base. For $250 bucks, I wouldn't limit yourself to the particular grind. That much money can get you all kinds of roller cam grinds. Just don't forget, cam changes are a bit of time and hassle to do so do all the homework you can before you pick a grind to make your work worth it.
