Default What cam to go with??????????

If I keep my car Ill look to do a bigger cam. I want 440+ stock heads. I know these 3 cams will do it.
trex
g5x3
magic stick

What should I do guys. These cam are all around similiar size specs. I would like to keep it on a 112 or 113. Let me know

Yep..

If you're looking for 440+ you're definitely going to have to invest in some heads...

Or a little juice on top of one of those

just get some heads... You will have much better streetability and will have closer to the numbers you are looking for.

Hi we have a special on for the AFR heads and our G5 X-3 cam. We use the Comp 921 springs with the AFR heads and mill them for the correct compression. That package is $2995 for the complete heads, G5x series cam and pushrods.

This will get you over 440, and probably over 450rwhp.

Thanks and give us a call

The G5X2 and X3 are two of the nastiest all around performer cams. With proper tuning they cause no driving issues except GOBS of power!
