About all I can tell you about the Lingenfelter 211/219 is that, though it is small it's a good cam and has a nice power band. Other than that I know nothing about it, not even how much power it makes. The CC305 is about as good as it gets for an otherwise bolt-on car with stock heads. It has been known to make up to 370RWHP with an M6 (stock heads with bolt-ons), and yet again has a nice power band with some low end grunt. Yet again though I do not know how the Lingenfelter 211/219 fairs in comparison. Hopefully somebody with more knowledge on that subject can help you out. I would avoid the hotcam because other than it's price, there isn't really anything too attractive about it. It's old technology that was meant to pass emissions and doesn't make that great of power when compared to others.

Yea, the 305 is kinda out dated. Not a bad cam, but theres better on the market now.
