Default I have an X1 MTI cam...I'd like something bigger...

Got any ideas? I have dual valve springs that can handle .700 lift easy......

Besides the g5x2 is there another cam out there that performs? I'm looking at a 230+ range cam on both sides....I appreciate the input....

MTI X-1 230*-227*-112*-.591"-.571"... I'm assuming????

What exactly are you looking for? I can get nearly "anything" made for you but I caution you on the "bigger is better" idea. What is the overall combination? You may be surprised as to what you actually may need.

I ran an X1 in my heads/cam setup, I thought that was pretty aggressive for a daily driven car, doors shook something awful..

Well if I do decide to go the spray route and raise my comp, I'll probably do a 240/250 .610/.620 112lsa cam thats on my 6.0L 372 motor, could possible go bigger...

238/240 .605/.609 112 LSA? Sounds kinda familiar ... lol.. Be prepared to spin that thing to the moon and back, which I wouldn't do on that stock bottom end of yours.. Not to mention the eyebrows you'll need to clear those valves...

Thunder Racing has a new cam which is 236/232 I believe. A buddy of mine has it up here in his car, sounds amazing.
