Need an opinion on my current LPE cam.

I've been driving my car around for about a month now and everything runs great. However, I really don't feel that much of a difference in power, I do feel the hole that it is making in my pocket though (mileage). I can tell there's more power but less than I expected. My thoughts is that the duration of the cam 216/218 is too much for my completely stock intake. Does anyone concur? Well let me know what you guys think.

Mods are in sig.

It's probably a little too much cam to work well with your combo, but you should still feel more gain over stock.
I'd suspect you need a custom prom to get it to run right.

Lingenfelter recommends high flow runners with that cam.
