very little. The X 5 is a bit bigger and might make a bit more peak HP.
Might also be a touch less street friendly.

The G5 refers to the cams for the LS1's, LS2's and LS6's
The G7 refers to the cams for the LS7 C6 ZO6

No such thing as a G5X5 as far as I know.

I think you are right. I wasn't thinking about the one in the race car. Sorry. I couldn't imagine driving that thing on the street, idling at 1600 rpms and ready to launch like a bat outta hell.

I am not sure about flycutt now and do the xx, or no flycutt x4 and wait until you get the AFR's to flycutt. Why not flycutt and do xx with the AFR's at the same time.
Is that an option?

Could you save your money for a week or two and do it all at once, so you don't have to go back in there?? JMO

The cam they use in the race car is the Grand Am Cup Cam. Its a cam thats made by GM. They are required by the rules to run this cam and the specs are 239/251 106LSA. If they could run the cam of their choice then they would run away from every race with a win.
