That's a pretty mean lobe to be putting into a daily driven truck there dude....although it IS becoming a commonly seen one 
If it were me I'd stick with an XE lobe on a daily driver.....

Two lobes w/ the same .050 specs, but one being more aggressive. The more aggressive lobe will idle better from less overlap, and make more power from more lobe at higher lift values.
I was talking to a guy the other day, who had been driving his Vette for 40,000 miles with xe-r lobes. No problems.

More aggressive lobes tends to lead to faster spring wear and add to the "sewing machine" effect....I'm not saying that they are bad, just that they are more aggressive and are harder on parts

Brian Brannen (unaffiliated racing) @ Comp has some interesting opinions about valvetrain parts paired with the Comp lobes. I'd suggest contacting him before using a xe-r profile.
