What comp lobes can we use in the LS-1? Besides your standard LSX lobes?(XE, XE-R and so on.) I'd like to compile a list of the diffrent lobes we can use to check the variences in diffrent style lobes. Persoanlly I'm only interested in hydraulic roller, but others could be added if people show intrest.

Here are a few SBC n' SBF lobes I did my best at converting. There may be some guys who have run these thru a cam pro and can varify the exact specs...
If you are into coming up with your own grind however. Think up some specs, and run this by a cam grinder such as Ed Curtis. He should have something similar he can cut for you. It's much easier this way than picking from a list of lobes that isn't very long.

Call up the different cam manufacturers and ask them, they are the ones who know. I'm planning to try some of the XFI lobes from comp on some cams. As far as comp goes it just really depends if they have the capability to place the particular lobe of interest on the R Master.

I'm really just wanting to see what will actually work in our cars so I can compare diffrent lobes. I plan on having a custom cam cut, but I would like to have a compilation of lobes that I can look over before going to a grinder. It would be nice to have a lobe data base anyway so people could venture out and try something beyond the "normal" cams we have avalible. BTW, I've tried PMing Ed, he won't return my PM's for some reason. Maybe I made him mad.
