Re: Cam ?

I wouldn't buy a LPE219 cam in todays age. There are newer cams using similar specs, but with better lobes that take advantage of the advances in springs and lifters since then.

If you've got the cam already then its not worth buying something else. But if buying out-right there are newer lobe designs on modern cams that will perform better with no downsides.

Re: Cam ?

Then I agree nothing wrong with leaving it in there since changing it out requires money and time and the difference is probably only about 10-15hp at most.
