Default G5x4 Cam in 5.3L
I have my old cam I used on a Ls1 (LG G5x4) and it worked great without any flycutting. I still have my trick flow pushrods that I used. So my question is can I run this big cam on the 5.3L without flycutting. Its all stock. Probably going to put some 241 heads that my buddy has laying around. Springs of course are a must. What ya think? Does anybody have this cam in a 5.3L? If so What numbers you put? Wanna know if its worth it or just go stock with headers and call it a good day... ANy info will be appreciated.

I've never seen an X4 in a 5.3...That's a HUGE cam for a 346, enormous for a 5.3. Even though you were fine with your previous motor, check PTV. Then post an idle vid

If it does work, it would nearly be the equiv. of putting a solid roller in a 347. I dont know if I would want that big of a cam in a 5.3. I hope you have the worlds biggest converter cause it sounds like its going in a truck.

Yeah, but it may not even make it past the curb cut on your driveway!

It's 24X duration. All it would take is getting it cam doc'd and everyone would know EXACTLY what the specs are on it.
