can you post the lifts or a comparison to the X-er lobes? Maybe at 224, 232, 240 durations so we can get a flavor of how they compare.

I'm running the LSK 243 duration lobes on a single pattern .653 lift w/ PRC duals and Morel lifters. Has .200" duration numbers close to XE-R 248 lobe, so it ramps aggressively after .050. They are about as close to solid roller performance w/ a hydraulic setup that I could find. I don't expect a lot of mileage out of the springs (10-15K?) but I like the way it hits and PRC's are not that expensive.

I've been thinking about doing a 215/219 .629/.632 115+0 with a set of PRC 5.3 heads on my wife's car. I wonder how good it would idle and if it would be ok on P/V with the 5.3 heads unmilled??

Lift doesn't affect PTV. Duration and LSA do. That cam would clear no problem.

LSK lobes are radical. They are designed to be "done" by 6500rpm max. In other words, they are some valve floatin *****.

I think I may order one and try it out. The car has all bolt ons, 100hp dry kit, and a 3400 stall with 3.23 gears.

That statement is absolutely FALSE. The LSK lobes were designed by Comp to have more high rpm stability than XE or XE-R lobes.

XE-R lobes are 49 degrees from .006" to .050". That's fast.
LSK lobes are 50 degrees from .006" to .050. Not quite as fast.

Where the LSK lobes shine is the arc they form from .050" to peak lift. According to Comp, the LSK lobes better follow the natural arc of the cam. See, fast ramps and low lift (like an XE-R lobe) make the lifter want to "loft" off of the cam lobe. By adding more lift into the lobe design, Comp feels they can get more stable rpm ability.

My new Thunder Racing TRak Cam uses the 231 LSK lobe on the intake and it revs to the freakin' moon. I need to raise my rev limiter ASAP because the 6800 rpm redline feels like 6000. It would go 7500 no problem. For rev assurance, I'm running Comp 921 springs, but I could have shimmed my duals that came with my AFR 205s and been fine.

Somehow I knew you'd make it in here. LOL.

This is true but at those durations it would take a bunch of lift to run into PTV problems. Especially with that LSA. Or if you put it in super advanced or retarded.

That has the same rate as Cam Motion intake lobes on some FM cams I've seen.

Well can you shed some light on these new lobes?
