Default G5X-2 Through True Duals [videos]

As requested... Here are a few video clips of my '99 t/a with the LG Motorsports G5X-2 cam. Car has stock heads and the exhaust consists of Hooker LTs and custom x-pipe with Moroso Spiral-flow mufflers, dumped before the axle. Videos were taken with a digital camera, so the quality isn't the greatest, but you get the idea.

Right click and save as...

Startup and idle 7.8 meg

Revs 2.5 meg

Driving away 1.8 meg

...Enjoy!



Thanks to minivette for filming and hosting the videos.

Yes, I had to burn the set of clothes I was wearing as I layed under the car filming... *cough* *cough* *gag* I think it may be running a tad rich. I think the Mustang vert on the "driving away vid" pissed in his pants.

No problem on the hosting MOBE.

I want my true duals!! Those things sound sweet. The tone is nice with a very clean sound. Not raspy and obnoxious. Nice car!

Thanks for the compliments guys. Hopefully I'll get it dynoed soon and get some tuning done sometime this summer.

Assassin, ...yeah, I set off many alarm now. My neighbors are going to lynch me.

mobius, LG has installed them in A4s successfully, w/ tuning.

bdawg/98mechamta#9, jmX and I did the install ourselves. He documented the install for his site www.ls1howto.com . I don't think he has it up on the site yet though.

Again, thanks for the kind words.


...minivette, you get that fuel smell outa your clothes yet? :p

Yes LG has installed them in a A4 with tuning.

Heritagels1 you need to run the rev dual springs that come in the package. On most milled heads you are safe untill you go past .030. You need to check the P/V if your heads are milled more

We used REV 1116 double springs w/ titanium retainers and hardened seats. Heads are stock LS1 heads. No milling or fly cutting done.

Why did you go with LG? I'm wanting to get a cam installed in my camaro but don't know who to go with. I'm thinking about MMT or LG.

I was looking for an aggressive cam, and the G5X-2 was putting out some pretty incredible numbers with stock heads. So, I thought I'd give her a try.

I paid $850 for the cam, Rev double springs, titanium retainers, hardened pushrods, and hardened vavle spring seats. That was with a 5% discount.

are you still running stock roller rockers, valves and lifters. im getting a similar cam 230/238 and im wondering on top of the dual rev springs & titanium package if you need to at least get yella terra rockers or something like that?
