Gain from G5X-2 and patriot ls6 heads I'm thinking about switching my heads and cam over the winter. I currenty have TEA stage two 5.3 heads and a comp 228/228 .581/.581 112 lobe sep. 2 degress advanced. My car dyno's 403hp at 6300rpm and 377tq at 4600rpm. Would I pick up alot of power?? My car runs 11.35 at 117mph .

Sorry forgot to mention that I'm an A4. Also I have all bolt on's. I run mac mid length headers.(That's all I could get to fit) I have 3inch true dual exhaust. This is through a ford 9 inch also.

I would think that would be a good baseline.One customer made 445 rwhp thru a 4200 stall and a 12 bolt with the same combo.

I think your current set up is really STOUT for an A4 as well as your ets. I honestly don't think you would pick up more than .1 to .2 tenths in the 1/4 mile and more than 10RWHP but who knows for sure. Just don't think the cost benefit ratio is worth it but hey, its your $!
Good Luck and hope your final decison works out for you!

Those number are locked. I want a cam that pulls hard to 6800rpms. My current setup peaks at 6300rpm but falls of alot at 6600rpm. Next year I'm looking to put a 150 shot on the car. I think this cam would work better on nitrous than my current cam.

I'd stick with the heads you've got and just swap out the cam. The amount of cash that would be spent on the heads would be better spent elsewhere. I agree with you that the G5X2 would be better for nitrous, and it will definitely give you the rpm range that you want. I'd expect that cam to make at least 15 more hp than what you've got. You do have a pretty nice setup already though. Good luck!

LG cams really like nitrous.
