A98, take a look through Comp's lobe catalog and then through Bullet's lobe catalog some time. Bullet literally has 8-9 lobes PER DEGREE of duration. So if you had your heart set on a 250° @ .050" intake lobe, you have a myriad to choose from, which makes it really nice when you're trying to make a combination work as far as lobe lift, aggression, DCR, etc. Comp has a nice catalog as well, but the choices just aren't there.

For instance, I needed a street solid roller for Lippy's engine. I needed something with a softer design, with a certain amount of lift, and in the lower 260's for duration. Comp had a 260, a 266, and a 272. That was about it. Bullet had about 10 for 260, 10 for 261, 10 for 262, 10 for 263........
