Cool LSK lobes? How do you order and from where?
I was wondering how one would get a custom grind on LSK lobes or more like from which sponsor? I havent seen anyone advertise these new lobes so I am not sure who to order them from.

I figured why not stick with the latest and greatest lobes. Are all cams grinded from these lobes now unless you ask for different lobes?

Well you can tell if the cam has the lobes or not by the lift.

Ex. a cam with a 227 intake and .640 lift is a cam with a LSK lobe. If it has say, .595 lift, it's not an LSK lobe. Could BE XER..etc...

I've got a cam with a LSK lobe, no problems thus far...

If you know the specs you want, order from Speed Engineering and save some money.

What do you think of the patriot 243 heads? They have good springs and will mill the heads to whatever you want no charge. That way you can get the right dcr and quench

They have the best customer service in the industry! I have their 243 heads and I've put up some great numbers. They're inexpensive too (not cheap )
