Not sure of exact specs, I know they are a little more aggresive then the G5X3 which is in the 230's duration and the 600's lift if i am not mistaken...
Mods> Everything lol. All bolt on's w/ ESP Stage 2 H/C w/ TH 400 and a 12 bolt w/ 4.10's... KOOKs headers w/ believe it or not flowmaster cat back.(like the sound). Full suspension and the trans bake... Hoping 4 tens soon...

That cam sounds really nice. It would sound a little better with true duals though.

Nope that is through closed exhaust...Don't even have a cutout! (Shame on me I know lol).

JFM thxs we are hoping soon very soon. The 30th will be my first track visit. Just improvement over my 11.56 would make me happy but I really hope we have it close. I mean I know I probably will need a real good day to get there (10's that is) but low 11's first time out on a new setup would make me real happy...lol

As too what it would run cam only who knows it depends on how the rest of the car was setup... I know this baby is going to make some stream...

The cam its self also can't be more "aggresive" than the X-3 when the X-3 is ground on the hardest lobe avalible. Maybe where getting "similar" and "aggresive" mixed up.

Thxs FDLS6! Maybe the word similiar should of been used in this case but the lift and duration is a bit bigger than the X-3...

Your closer than Phil was, but you have to keep in mind that it's not all in the .050" duration/lift. There is alot more to the game than that.
Sean, this is a pure guess, but to my knowledge, wouldn't you have to back off on lobe harshness to get the higher lift? It's either that or actually go harder than a XE-R, and to my knowledge, no one has anything harder than that. Pure speculation here, but a realitivly educated guess.

A cam expert I am not...lol
I know they are similiar cams mine is just a bit bigger "not saying better" just a bit bigger to the best of my knoweldge... Assuming that the X-3is less then 240 duration and 605 lift...

That cam sounds sweet man. The flowmaster catback sounds awesome with it. I always wondered what one would sound like. Something else to look forward to for my Z28.

sean. i love it! which flowmaster system do you have? 3 inch?
if so, please just add a cutout for $30. i know you like the sound, but you can keep it corked while on the street and uncap it for the track.
