I'm thinking about my next mod being a cam swap. Is this particular cam a good choice for a daily driver? How much Hp can be expected with just the cam? And how are the street manners with this cam?

Driving manners depends on who tunes it. You might see about 30rwhp. With a set of long tubes about 60-70rwhp.

with out headers you will see AT LEAST 45 RWHP, period, that is a great cam from what I hear, thats one on my list that I have been researching for the past 2 months

I had that cam in my vette and its definetly a big cam but very streetable with a good tune. I ran it with afr205's and kooks and fast 90/90 and made 461/390.

Thats a great cam but you will need a good tune.

I didnt see headers in your sig...I would defiantly get those before.
It will make it easier to tune and help the cam breath.

Thanks guys! How well does it work with stock heads? LT's are definately in the near future as I'm just planning my longterm setup.

My car is an f-body, but I run a G5X3 on a 114. With stock heads my car made 405rwhp/375rwtq after tuning (ASP pulley, Kooks 1 7/8" longtubes, Magnaflow catback, LS6 intake w/ported stock TB).

I have seen anywhere from 400rwhp to 450rwhp with this cam. The 450rw cars are usually the Z06's with LS6 heads and FAST 90's.

The cam definitely lopes...but the driveability is quite good with a good tune

Add some ported heads and a FAST 90 and you'll see 470-495rwhp!

LG Motorsports makes some killer cams and when paired up with the LG Pro Longtube headers you have an unleashed Monster to deal with. I too had a g5x3 cam and loved it. The tune was on, and occasionally I had to put up with some surging but that usually only happened when I had the A/C on full blast and sitting at a light after being on it. Drives very nice in traffic, excellent (flawless) at highway speeds. I've been as low as 50 mph and still in 6th gear and the car didn't stall just slowly accelerated when I gave it some gas. I was trying to see if the car would stall but she just crept along effortlessly. Won't have to flycutt with stock heads. Should upgrade to a cometic .040 gasket and enjoy your new cam and slight increase in compression. Good luck.

Is there any loss of low end? And where on the band does the power kick end?

As with pretty much all "big" cams there is slight bit of low end tq loss, but not enough to notice. To me the g5x3 cam felt as strong on the bottom end as the stock cam did, but once you get near 3000 rpms the surge begins, and from 4000 on Hp/Tq is building at what feels like an exponential rate. Nothing at all like stock.

Can't wait to feel the power of the cam Louis installed in my car. Makes a sick amount of torque and gobs horsepower. As good as the g5x3 is, it was hard for me to give Louis the go ahead but I trusted his suggestion.
