You cant go wrong with either. Get the X3 on a 112 or get some ***** and go with the X4 on a 111. You are not going to have to flycut with either of them on stock heads. You can even pick up a set of unmilled LS6 heads, bump your compression .5 point and gain an additional 15-20hp.

G5X4 with stock LS6 heads....a pretty nasty setup for not so nasty of a price. I don't knwo what to expect in terms of dyno numbers, but I know Z06's have put down 450-ish rwhp with the same thing. Given that I have an A4 with a stall and gear, and I'm going to get it tuned on a Mustang dyno....I'm still hoping to get over 400rwhp.

my vote G5Xx4 and LS6 heads. there are plenty of LS6 heads being sold for $500-$750 on the corvetteforum some have 1000-1500 miles on them and are pulled off C6's which is the 243 casting. cheap combo or spend another $500 for a new set of LS6 stg 2 patriots.

IF a G5X4 on a 111LSA clears on stock heads, I have no doubt that it is with way too little clearance to feel comforable spinning it as high as it needs to rev to get the optimal shift points. I say this because Louis said that a G5X3 on a 110 won't clear.

If you worried about reving it, swap out the rod bolts.

The G5x4 is a great cam. I can't really complain about it at all. I wish it had a little more lope to it but it still sounds plenty aggressive. People will definitley know you have a cam.

My motor has 41K miles and has always been pampered...oil changes with nothing but synthetic oil every 2K miles. I'm running stock lifters after I pulled them all out and checked them very carefully. Stock rod bolts too...I have an A4 street car, not looking to rev as high as possible.
