I very seriously doubt you will have to worry about it with that cam. But, might as well measure, better safe than sorry.

How could the lobe design between tsp and eps be different?

If a person would order a cam from comp or cam motion or whoever how would it be any different than what tsp or eps would send us may be a better question?

I do not mean to pick on any company obviously the experience they bring to the table is way better than what many of us have to offer but with that set aside what do you think the difference may be if any.

Everyone uses a different variation of the lobe. Everybody pretty much gets their cams from Comp. Except Futral, he gets his from Cam Motion. Search "Cam Motion" on this site as we have discussed lobes between the vendors many times in the past.

Again, this has been discussed in great detail pretty recently. The LSG lobe stands for Geoff at EPS. Comp will not cut that lobe for anyone else. TR has its own lobe, Cam Motion uses their own lobe, and Futral has CM cut his lobes how he wants them. Each cam is unique to say the least.
