Default G5X-2 cam/Absolute Speed 5.3L S2 heads dyno

I had the G5X-2 cam installed with Absolute Speed 5.3L Stage 2 heads specifically MATCHED for this cam.

Final numbers:

447rwhp/414tq. These numbers are with Lanes' true duals and a brand new set of Kooks long tube headers through a 12 bolt with 4.11 gears.

The car just hauls and I can only keep smiling when I drive it. Now it's time to get some track times.

Thanks to all the guys at LG Motorsports, this combo rocks!

DAYM, nice #'s. Could you let us know how the 5.3 heads were matched for the G5X-2 cam? I have a set of 5.3 heads I will be working on over the summer and am leaning towards a bigger cam maybe even the G5X-2. I believe there might be some clearance problems when you start milling the heads with a cam that big...not positive though. Any info would be hellpful, thanks!

Really nice numbers!

One thing though...your heads are milled .020! What's your PV clearance?? You checked it right?

What is your compression? Was this done on pump gas?

Pump gas (93 octane), 11.2:1 compression, LGM installed the heads with the cam so I don't know what the p/v clearance is, but the piston has a valve relief cut on the intake side.

I bought the heads/cam as a package from LGM. Lou is specifically working with Jay at Absolute Speed on the 5.3L heads.

With a short belt this should crack 450 easy. Think 460 is possible with my stock 3.42 rear in there???
