Has different lobes, but the comp lobes are good proven grinds. I'd say not a bad choice.

All these 224 cams (TR, Comp Cams, Futral, TSP) are very similar in power levels. You will not gain anything to from one to another that will justify the price different.

As previously mentioned, if it is a good price and that is what you want, get it.
