Default comp or thunder

Just wondering if either one is better than the other? I know the price is higher on the thunder cam so it would only make sense but I dont know.

I think thunders cams are made by comp, they just have faster ramp rates but I could be wrong someone correct me if I am.

Comp grinds them for Thunder. They are a custom lobe that comp makes especially for Thunder.

Right on with 'nilla. In terms of aggressiveness, Thunders lobes fit inbetween Comps x-e (high lift) & x-er. Some are more aggressive than others.

Got an example for you guys.

X-E
224 @ .05
142 @ .20

TR
224 @ .05
145 @ .20

X-ER
224 @ .05
146 @ .20

Duration @ .200 increases with the more aggressive lobes, which fits TR's 224 lobe inbetween the x-e & x-er. More than likely, this will not hold true for *every* lobe.
