LoL! Right.....Good answer to his post.

LG hasnt/doesnt release there specs on the G5X3 or X4. Some people know them or can guess pretty close, but chances of someone telling you the actually specs is slim to none.

Any specific reasons why you dont like it, or did they kick sand in your ***** by not releasing the specs.

Personally, I would rather know what I am running. That is LG's choice to not release the specs. Some people don't mind running a cam without knowing the specs while others do. Personal preference I guess.

you know it will fit without flycutting, and you also know that it makes good power. if you're THAT interested in the specs, buy it, take it to a machine shop and get it spec'd. personally, i think lg is onto something with their cams, as the entire x series line of cams all perform. i don't blame them for not releasing the specs.

I agree they have a great line of cams out there. The best bet would be to get in contact with LG.

lg will not give the specs out. only a few people know what they are and have told lou they will not share them I am almost positive I know the specs of my x3 but i'm not letting them out out of respect for lou.

I just recently wanted a G5X1 and I requested a cam card with the cam. The response was that LG doesn't release the cam card with their cams. I just had to trust them.
So I replied that no cam card, no purchase as I need it for degreing purposes.
They said "dot to dot".
That is BS by any means.

G5X3
234/242, .600/.610 112/114 LSA (not so anymore )

This is not a matter of respect, it is a matter of doing things properly. The X3 has been out for awhile and hiding specs from purchasers is

If I pay my $$, I expect respect myself and any respectable installer knows that you should degree your cam no matter how big it is.

Wow. I'm glad I didn't go up to the X3....2 degrees more duration on each side, a tiny bit more lift. The X2 will be fine for me now, now if we could only learn about the X4...haha.
