Wow...did you really mean 175º @ .050"? Looking at Comps lobes this is about all that stands out...Lobe# 3100 230º adv. 178º @ .050.

.405" w/1.5's, .432" w 1.6's, and .459" w/1.7's. I'd prefer to see the 1.6 or 1.7 number with 1.5's, I think, but this was about the only lobe they have with less than 200º @ .050. Most are 230+...

How does this look for an "off-the-shelf" flat tappet unit?
