x4 is bigger. Plus Louis from LG will usually give you a deal if you trade yours in for another of their cams.

G5X4 (LG)
MS3 (TSP)
T-Rex (TR)
Anything you want can be custom made for only a little more $. This will yield best results, as it's spec'd for your combo/app. specifically.

I don't know if you have checked, but heads are 5x as much as a cam. He might be looking to go the budget route or stay "cam only". just my thought though.

The MS3 is pretty close in size to the x3, you probably would not see much gain, if at all. Going up, there's the x4, then the T-Rex (my favorite), or like NoseUp said, a custom grind. Since you're from Chicago, I know I can tell you that Straightline has good deals on custom grinds, and I think Speed Inc can cut them for you too.

G5X3: 234/242-114+2
MS3: 237/242-113+0
T-Rex: 242/248-110+?
The G5X4 is close in size to the MS3. A few educated guessers here figure around 236/244-111+1 or 2

They're all ground on aggressive lobes. Lift is between .602 and .610 for all (G5X4 unknown). If spraying, I'd go for the MS3, if not, G5X4. Again, though, you won't get better performance out of any of the above over a grind custom taylored for your combo specifically.

If you wanna sell it, message me and I'll take it for a reasonable price if I don't break down and just buy a brand new one before then.

Going from X3 to X4 is IMO worthless. Take 100 lbs off your car for free and you'll feel the same.

G5X4 is considered for Big Cubes LS1 427 as I learned from LG.
