I ran the 211/219 in my car ( 93Z , M6, 3:42 gears ) for a few years, here is how I feel about it:

This is a very good street/tire fryer cam, but not good for racing. The 211/219 is a pure mid-range cam!

I installed the cam with stage II heads, 1.6 rockets, Mac shorty headers and 52MM Throttle body, and mail order tuning from Fastchip ( Ed Wright ).

I wanted the car as a daily driver and needed to pass emmisions. I got what I wanted, the cam actually ran cleaner thru the sniffer then stock. As for performance, car had a slight lope at idle, the mid-range torque of this cam is increadable and it rev'd quickly from 2,000RPMs to 5,600RPMs, then fell on it's face! HP peaked @ 320RWHP around 5200RPMs.

I really liked the cam until I started doing more racing, at that point I wished I had gone with something bigger like the Hotcam or 305 as I was finding cars with minor mods and bigger cams running near my times and trap speed, clearly the cam needed more duration! I ran on Nittos and never was able to hook very well, Leaving below 1900RPMs bogged the car, above 2000RPMs spun the tires, so it was a matter of being easy with the clutch. But the car ran very consistent in brackets with 2.0 60' and ET'd 13.0-13.10 @ 109MPH, in any weather!

99% street = Yes , Wanta race = NO
