Default Best lobes for Trick Flow 215.

Just like the title says..which lobes work best with the trick flow as cast 220 heads? Was thinking either XER or wanted to know how the EPS lobes would work with them? The reason I want to look into EPS is because I want quiet valvetrain.

Would like to drive the car around 8k miles a year so spring life is a concern..

I don't think the XER will be any quieter than the XFI, or LSL lobes,and the LSL is flat out a better lobe then the XER, and the XFI has slightly less agressive lobes but more available lift than the XER lobes. If you want quiet go with the EPS and make sure you have the proper amount of pre-load on the lifters.

Switched to the Trick flow 215's..was looking into a cam on LSL lobes as suggested by a knowledgeable sponser.

What do you guys think?

TSP can do a custom grind with the LSL lobes, even though they don't have them listed;that's what I did.

Here's the LSL lobe list, just scroll down:

Ask about the LXL lobes! Supposedly much better than LSL. Not much info available on the net about them, but Pat G recommended them for me since my car will be a dd. He said they are more stable than LSL, idk exactly what that means tho.
