Default lobe intensity on T-rex(advertise duration)

Does anyone know the advertised duration on the T-rex? The comp Xtreme LS1 lobes have an intensity number of 49 degrees. I need to compare the T-rex but I need the advertised numbers and at what lift (i.e @ .006"). Less is unquestionably more.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Just look for the 242 xe-r lobe. I believe they are the exact same lobe as that of the intake. 248 xe-r is for the exhaust. Must all advetised numbers are at .006".

Yeah the XE-R lobes are the most aggressive H-roller design that I could find, their intensity # being 49. The lobes that I am considerind are the 244, 248, .612, .615 on a 109 LSA. A bit different than the T-rex. I just want to see how they compare.

Thanks.

These lobes are not quite as fast as the comp cam lobes with their intensity being #51 as compared to comp's #49. Not only that but comp is about $32.00 cheaper from their factory than thunderracing. This should be an interesting comparison. Of course the cams are not identical per duration and lift but quite close...

The comp slk lobes are much more agressive then the XE-R. I have a 239 at .050" lobe which is 1 degree larger at .200" then the 242 xe-r lobe.

I guess I should have specified: the most intense lobe with the duration that I want under .620" lift so I can use the stock long block minus the cam

Be careful when speaking of lobe intensity. The advertised verses .050" duration intensity is very similar between these cams (50.6 in the intake lobe of the TREX verses 50 for the intake lobe of my cam). Now compare the at .050" verses at .200" intensity (79.8 for the intake lobe of the TREX verses 75 for the intake lobe of my cam). What this equates to is very similar intensity from the .006" to .050" range and much greater intensity (more agressive) in my intake lobe from the .050" to .200". range.

Thanks for pointing that out as the only comparison I was making was between .006 and .050. Either way the comp lobe has the most intensity for what I need.

Thanks
