Found this old comment in a thread from mid year.

How the longer term results of LSL lobes now?
Im just about to pull the trigger and order my xmas present, a Comp 219/227 on 112LSA with LSL lobes

Any feedback? Unfortunately, I feel like a pioneer

Im doing 10,000 miles a year and can hopefully get at least a couple of years out of a set of duals.

Looks like the thumper cams are primarily for sound. Big duration, tight LSA, decent lift...lots of overlap for great sound, but maybe not the best performers.
