Questions about G5X2 Cam with FMS/Meaux Stg 2 Heads? Please comment on how you think this combo would fair. This is what I am currently running:
FMS / Meaux Racing Stage II heads, 2.02 / 1.57, Comp hardened pushrods
Comp Cams 978 dual springs, retainers, locators
Comp Cams Custom 224 single pattern cam, XER lobes, .581 lift, 112 LS
The Meaux racing heads flowed 291cfm intake / 239 exhaust at .600.
With this combo the car has run 11.6's @ 119-120 in the 1/4, and pulled 400rwhp through a 9", 4.33's, in street trim yada yada.
Im considering a quick cam swap to see if there is anything left in the car, and looking at the g5x2 cam or something larger in general. What stands to be gained and are the springs and rest of valvetrain good to go for a cam like the g5x2?
It seems as if major advances are being made since this combo went in, and it bothers me cam/bolton ls1s are running as fast as h/c/i were a couple yrs ago.. Just tryin to keep up!
Thanks for any input!

Sorry left out some of my engine specs....
Shortblock: LS1 block bored/honed .010" to pistons, Ross pistons w/ rings
Stock rods w/ Katech bolts, FMS race prep stock crank
FMS ported oil pump, SLP timing chain, ARP main studs
Federal Mogul coated bearings, ARP head studs
Balanced and blueprinted, heads flowed before and after new porting

Sean, good seeing you are still alive man... Where ya at Bragg?
As for a camshaft, let Allan cut one for you. As said above, he knows the heads and motor itself. I could definately see ya getting something a lil bigger than a 224 in there, but be careful not to "mismatch" your combo like so many others do. Allans cams do seem to make good power on the lobes he cuts them on. Give him a call. Give me a call while your at it, its been a while.
Goodluck bro
