long as they are comp magnum, hi-tech, trick flow, smith bros. etc pushrods you will be fine, most important is correct pushrod length.

Just installed mine a few days back with stock lengh Comp Cams 7.400 chrome molly pushrods... I'm quite happy with the cam.. I went for 114 LSA..

Why are you disappointed with the cam..!? I don't blame you though for the hostility against LG.. !

Do not **** this thread up with bashing them. If you are having, or had a bad experience with them, post it in the sponsor feedback section, not in someones thread looking for tech advice.

In cam only swap i would use at least 7.425 Hi Tech Comp

All the G5X3 and G5X2 users I've talked to loved theirs. I know mine runs great. Heck, my buddy's G5X3 car with stock heads made 417rwhp. Heck, even when discussing cams with one of the cam gurus on this board, it looks like one of the best options would be a cam with the duration, and advance specs of a G5X3, only on a 110LSA with LSK lobes. The valve events of the X3 cam make for a good running car.

sorry but they did me wrong .

Yeah I remember you saying something about that in the past. I'm still not sure how that makes the X3 a bad cam. I love mine.

And be careful. I spoke of a sponsor lying and doing me and many others wrong, and I got banned for a week. Don't wanna mess with the pockets of board owners. Every sponsor will have bad reviews as well as good. But LG has a wonderfully impressive good:bad ratio. Too bad you had a bad experience.

lg told me to use the 7.400's with my g5x4, but I'm really hesitant to go with the stock length.

they said 7.400 for me. i know lots people who love the g5x3. im not gunna take one persons word for it.So the magnum should be fien and yes there COMP

Could someone help me out here, I must be clueless...

If the lift of a new cam is larger than stock, don't you need a SHORTER pusrod because the cam lobes are taller?

And just how much 'slop' can the stock lifters tolerate? It must be in the .025 range since that seems to be the lengths pushrods come in, right?

Thanks!!

PREDATOR-Z

The higher the lift, the smaller the base circle. With smaller base circles you need longer p-rods (cam only).
Preload accepted by stock lifters is in the .060>.100 range. I usualy make it in the .080>.100

I was told by LG to run the 7.5's...
I am running a Comp 232/236 .595 .601 114...

im so lost on teh length pushrods

PREDATOR-Z

7.450 yes but 7.500 (NO WAY)

bgrizz

is anyone running a cam only g5x4 on stock ls6 heads with 7.4 pushrods?

PREDATOR-Z

Now that will do since if they are true LS6, they have taller valves (~.023) taller. so 7.400 will be Ok.

My mistake!! I was talking out of my ***....
I meant to say the 7.4's just to clarify...
