Default Got my XFI lobed cam in today

Some of you showed interest in the Comp Cams XFI lobes, and I said I would post what my cam Cam Doctored at when I got it. This is from one of my earlier posts with the specs.

What I wound up using was a lobe not in any catalog, but found by one of the Comp Techs in their files. It specs out at 269, 220@.050, 145@.200, .597 lift. It's between a XER and a LSK lobe. It won't be installed until July, so I can't give you dyno results yet. But I'm having it Cam Doctored if you guys would be interested in the results.
And here are the Cam Doctor specs: (are they usually this far off??)

Lobe # 3761R Int @.006 272.4, @ .050 222, @ .200 145.6, Lift .599
Lobe # 3015R Ex @ .006 278, @ .050 226.2, @ .200 150.3, Lift .614

Here's where it get's a little confusing for me

Int centerline 109.2 ATDC
.050 lift C/L 105.9 ATDC
Ex centerline 109.2
.050 lift C/L 112.6

Why is there 6.7 degrees difference in the .050 lift C/L's?? Is this because of the two lobes having different ramp rates?? Anyway, these are the numbers Jonathan @ Thunder gave to me. Please feel free to offer suggestions, comments (good or bad), advice, or anything else that comes to your minds. There are a ton of numbers on this Cam Doctor sheet, if you need any more of them, feel free to ask.

Normally it is close but can be a couple degrees off.
Normally the LSK stuff is off the most.

I think what the LSA shows is approx. 109+3 I could be wrong.
