Default Lobes

What are some of the newest lobes out right now? As a general consensus, who is grinding some of the better lobes? of the "newer" ones, I know of LSL, LSK, and LSR? Anyone know what the values of the LSR lobes are?

LSR is a series of comp cams that use the LSL lobes. Look in the Comp Cams lobe catalog on their website. Has the entire list.

Have a look on this Excel sheet that includes LSL (LSR) lobes.
However, I think the latest lobes are designed by EPS and some of lobes are not announced.

LSL= Fast and aggressive. kind of the standard in the LS-based engines.
LSK= Super aggressive. Some of the LS-based cams run it, but shouldn't really be a street lobe. Change springs often.
EPS= Aggressive but stable. a little slower on and off the seat. Better for street.
HUC= More stable. Heavy valves and rockers and higher RPM use.

I know there are more lobes out there. Overall most of the lobes are actually pretty close to each other.

Would be a good thing if we could get a complete list together of all the different lobes.

Said the same thing in a different post. Most of the vendors to the right have propriatery lobes that you can't get by just calling up COMP or Cam Motion. I know that Ed Curtis has proprietary lobes too.
