Anybody switched from a g5x2 to a smaller cam Anybody down-sized their cam from a G5X2 to a smaller cam so that it would be more street/strip friendly for their taste?
I'm thinking of getting this cam on stock heads, just woundering if it is too "race only" for factory 3.42's...switching gears is not an option at this point.
My friend has a 230/232 .595 .595 112 and I drive it all the time on the street w/ 3.42's....it pulls so damn hard!
And yes, I have used the search button as well as on the other forums too....so far I have not found anyone who has down sized a cam for daily driving. So if there are some out there let me know your reasons.

It largely depends on your tolerance and description of a street car/cam.
Personally, I don't like anything more than a 224ish duration cam for the street. Works well with stock gears and components. Just an opinion of course.
People around here treat cams like baseball cards. Collect them all.

Did I mention 350 ft lbs of torque at 2400 rpm?
