Re: guess this lobe.. and asses this cam It looks to be a "normal grind. Not even a XE, much less an XE-R. Looks like it would be kind to the springs though. If your looking for a tougher lobe, you might need to sell that one. Looks like a Lunati grind. I got my cam in the other day thinking it was going to be on a XE-R lobe, and it was no where near that. It's for sale now.

Re: guess this lobe.. and asses this cam well i had it custom ground so its what i want, its easy on the springs and should make great power. i just didnt know how it compared to the other lobes out there
does anyone know how these valve timing events compare to a tr224 or a XE/XER 224
i take it that if 2 cams were 224 @.050 and the adv was 277 and one was 282 that the lower number = more agressive lobe?

advertised/.050
XER 224 273/224
XE 222 275/222
Lunati B1 283/221
As you can see the B1 lobes are really lazy compared to the others. That's why the B1 doesn't idle all that great considering it's only a 221/221 114. With the XER lobe profile, you would need a 234 lobe to get an advertised duration of 283. Some people seem to think the TR cams are XE lobes, which would be incorrect.

Re: guess this lobe.. and asses this cam Both cams being on a 110, there really wouldn't be much diffrence. You can take the advetised duration and subtract it from the .50 duration. The smaller the diffrence, the more aggresive the lobe. Harder lobes like the XE and XE-r were designed to provide better vacum and other things to make them idle better than traditional cams.

Re: guess this lobe.. and asses this cam so the chariteristics would be about the same but tuning would me a little more timley on the standard lobe cam, kinda like the hot cam and a custom grind comp cam with the same specs, same cam but diffrent tunning?

Verdad Gallardo Re: guess this lobe.. and asses this cam Assuming you had 2 cams, one on a comp magnum lobe, the other on an XE-R. Both cams are identical in lift duration blah, blah. The XE-R will require diffrent tuning because of the midrange charicteristics that the cam is known for. Basically, diffrent lobes make power in diffrent RPM bands so they will require diffrent tuning to truly be "dyno" tuned.

Re: guess this lobe.. and asses this cam I think that the tuning would be similar for the 2 cams. As far as I know, the tuning is more about telling the PCM what to do when XX happens than telling the PCM to just do whatever, whenever it wants.
