hey my buddy just got his ls1 gto about a week ago and is looking for a cam. he wants a cam with good street manners, good hp/trq gains, and lopy idle. also he wants something that @ least wont take mpg down bye more than 1 or 2mpg?

g5x4?

Is his GTO an auto or manual trans? I wouldn't consider the G5x4 cam with your current parameters.............. but I'm sure there are some that would consider it for that role.

I would go with the TR 230/224 111lsa.

I love the cam I have in. Tommy has the same one but had different results. who knows. If he is only willing to give up 1-2 mpg then he should look at the chetr cam or even the ls6 cam.

I would get a bigger cam to get that pig moving but thats just me.

Check out TSP. I am running their 233/239 and love it!!!

looks like it gave you a 80whp gain. he will prolly go with a big cam while he is @ it because he started off just saying he was gonna do intake, LT's, !cats, slp loud mouth and a tune and now he is already looking for cam/springs combo so eventually i will talk him into something bigger. He drives it like an old women and gets good gas milage (17mpg) so far but eventually he will start dropping the hammer.

besides now hes got torque (last car was a turbo mr2.......)

I'd look at the TR224, it's a whored out cam but there's a reason for it. If he's looking to go bigger, think about the TR230/224 as mentioned or even the Torquer V2 or V3.

tell him to stay away from the loudmouth if he is going longtubes and a cam. it will sound like ****, and be really raspy. Have him look into the magnaflow or hooker, and they are also cheap so thats a plus. They flow very well and sound great with H/C rides. If it isn't loud enough have him put a cutout on.

I may be out tonight, as tommy could be rolling out as well.

IMO ..
All the cams listed here are Excellent BUT i think your buddy will think they are TOO big.

Show him what his current cam specs are...then show him wath the G5x4 is.......

He'll **** his pants!

I rolled up for a bit and saw the gto, but no one was around, and I was getting annoyed by some guy that wouldn't leave me alone. It was like getting followed by the prelude guy. Tommy and cory wern't there so I left. Next time im up there I will give him a ride.
