Cam question, and HP estimate?

I knew that one day I would ask this question, i just didn't think I'd be asking this so soon!

In any case heres what I got. Literally. I was browsing Ebay and saw a Lingenfelter cam for sale. New in box all that nice stuff. Picked it up for $250 minus shipping.

Nitty gritty, any care to estimate how much power this cam will make with a ported plenum, AS&M siamsed runners, port matched intake base, and pocket ported heads? I will get headers, don't have them right now though. Car will also have a custom prom thanks to a friend.

Cam specs..
LPE 74211 camshaft
Lift w/1.5 rockers, .499/.525
Duration 211/219 @ .050
Centerline 112*

Powerband is idle to 5,400rpm, so it should work well with the TPI.

I've read up alot on the LPE cams here, but most of them talk about the 219/219 cam, and briefly mention the cam I bought. Anyone care to give some info on possible #'s or times? Even if what the maximum potential might be?

Yeah, just got DD2000. Started playing with it, and I had to guess at some settings so I wasn't sure how accurate it was.

But its showing something similar to your results right now.
300hp @ 5,000rpm, and 387lb/ft @ 3,500rpm. The torque is pretty much flat from 2,000rpm to 4,000rpm.

Still seems high to me. If anyone has made a L98 Cam profile then point me to it. I had to guess on the intake centerline but I got the rest.

And I used the L98 head profile with a 10% boost in flow as an estimation for the pocket porting.

I've been doing a lot of reading up on this particular cam. I've found a LOT of people in the low 13's and high 12's with it. Now, they are using much better heads than I, and a little higher compression.

Heck, when I bought it all I was thinking of was high 13's. If the cam can support that, heck yeah. Time to start saving for some good heads.

I did some dyno 2,000 simulations, but I must have something wrong with the sims. The #'s seem much higher than I think they should be.
