Going to a 216* can @ .050" really isn't going to give you much 'lope' at all.
You might be able to tell that it has a mild cam, but definitely not the fender shaking crackle/thump/lope that you might be hearing in your head.

Just leave it like it is and enjoy a reliable daily driver with the good mpg you're getting now.
