? About TSP 228r cam
This is the cam I believe I am going to go with. I have seen videoes and posts where the lift is .588 but when I check TSP's site it shows a .600 lift. Does anyone know if it changed or if you can still get the .588 lift? Thanks

I believe they have changed both the lobe shape and lift.

I don't necessarily want the lower lift, I was just curious if there was a reason for the change. I was thinking the lower lift would be "safer" and not be as hard on motor life but then again I really don't know much about cams.. trying to learn though.

They can definitely help you out with more info on that than I can, but that's the general idea.

The lobe profile has quite a lot to do with it as well. If a lobe opens the valve more aggressively, its harder on the spring than one that opens the valve slower, even at the same lift.
