Those are all Comp Cam lobes. Each one has different ramp rates and valve lift; some more aggressive than the others. Do a search on here and you will find a lot of good information about the different lobes. You should also get a copy of the Comp Cam Master Lobe catalog as well.

Just call comp and ask for a free lobe catalogue. It will explain the ramp rates and give an explanation of the different lobes and what they are designed to do.

^^^ +1. But stick with a XER or LSL lobe for general purposes and you won't go wrong.
