the t-rex is 242 248 608 612 110
and ms3 is 236 242 603 609 113 (i think?)

the G5X4 is smaller than the TREX. either will work on stock heads with no flycutting so you cant really go wrong with either.

For an auto daily driver i would run the MS3, due to the more friendly LSA.

If you are like me and everything ends up being max effort run the Trex!

I called them yesterday to discuss the G5X1's specs and they gave me the "unreleased" crap. Lol.

I just wanted to ask their opinion about XER lobes on roadrace applications and they got all defensive about their cam specs.

Whatever.

A lot of people already know them. I don't know why they care anymore. They are like GM with the 2009 camaro release.

Yeah, I know. And wasn't even calling about their latest grind, just an ol' G5X1 whose specs are posted on their site and whose specs have been whored out to all on the internet for years now.

That was the epitome of lazy (and some luck thrown in).
