Default New LSr vs New ThumpR cam thoughts?

The new ThumpR cam is listed as:
219/233 .553/.536 109LSA

One of the new LSr cams (54-456-11) is:
219/227 .607/.614 112LSA

I'd be interested in peoples thoughts on these two

Which will fall over earlier, make more peak HP, make more torque, make more under the curve, stronger bottom end etc etc

Im excited about both these two cams, something different to the thousands of 224/224 installs

Which would you prefer?

I went for the lsr under the assumption with those lift and lsa and dur#s youd make more power under the curve.

out of the two I would get the lsr cam because of the higher lift
the "thumpR" has low lift and limits itself in that matter I think they are just trying to market the cammed out sound with that low of an lsa

im still learning the numbers but it seems the thumper cam would make really really good low and mid range power.

The ThumpR concept is sound, but Comp should use their more aggressive lobes on them for the LS1s. Personally, the 219/227 cam would wax it though.

How would the ThumpR cam work on a cam only 5.3 truck motor?
