did a little search on tech just to see whats up with these lobes, id never use them!

quote for PG:

( EPS )They are a slightly calmer version of the new LSL lobe made specifically to be happy with beehive springs like the PAC 1518 and Comp 26918. The acceleration and jerk is much more friendly than XFI and XE-R lobes even though the duration at .006, .050, and .200" are similar

Billy Godbold, the head lobe designer at Comp, sat down with Geoff Skinner and me in December and asked us what we were looking for in a new lobe. We mentioned that we liked the power making potential and revability of the LSL lobes, but wanted something in a .600" lift version that would work with popular (and easy to install) beehive valve springs. I too, was skeptical of the lobes. They sounded too good to be true. But after installing some early ones on friends rides, I saw that they were the real deal. I love them. I only recommend LSL lobes above them for people who want more lift and need to run a dual spring.





from what im getting these lobes arent really all that great with dual springs and are basically made for single spring apps, i would think there limited in lift to .600 max?

Hmmm, so no dual springs with the EPS lobes? I've read of a few PAC 1518 failures, and the 1218's are only rated to .600...
