Im in the market for a cam like asap. ive been looking around and i think the G5X1 cam from LG is the best way to go. im currently in the dallas area temporarily and i took the hike down to see them and they said that with the cam, tune and a fast intake id be making 460ish to the wheels. does that sound right? if so, im sold. the kit costs around $1500.00 with the timing chain, cam, push rods etc.. so let me know what yall think. im trying to do this pretty soon so chime in.

460 at the wheels might be a stretch, but from what I've seen, LG makes some pretty good cams. I'll be going with 1 of their cams as well.

i think you should probably get heads as well, then i think 460 might be attainable.

I think you'll have to go with a bigger cam for that power. When I was ordering my setup (texasspeed MS3, PRC stage 2.5 ls6 heads), the guy i talked to on the phone said 460's for my car, and my cam is a lot larger than yours.

I think you should come down and do my cam swap bro

I still want the car to be somewhat of a cadillac lol. So if I want more power ill just procharge it lol.

how exactly are heads going to make the car less of a Cadillac?

Id call EPS(engine power systems) and get them to grind a 230/238 112lsa cam. That with a fast will get you around 440rwhp. Just keep in mind the fast intakes are only available in 102mm now and youll need new injectors and rails. Youll be in a cam/fast/tune for 3k+. Id save and go forced induction. I highly highly doubt youll see 460 with LG's cam and a fast, like said above youll need heads as well.

Hes got an ls2 he wont need injectors and rails....at least thats what ive read everywhere, because im thinking of buying the 102 myself....Im hopeing to see 440 but i have the bigger g5x3 cam....

Rails may work but a cam/fast ls6 is gonna need more then 28.8lb injectors.

Hey was browsing and came across this vid. Similar setup to the one you want to use and here is that 460 you were talking about, granted its an ls1 goat but...

thanks bro. i guess ill have to start saving for some heads too

06vLo

The op's car is an ls2.... and i believe the injectors are 33lb/hr...


and babrown on lg's website they have a couple dyno's with the g5x1 fast and full exhaust makeing 450whp...of course thats in a c6 so it would be a little less with our drive train loss...but the g5x1 is a decent cam for boosting from what they said when i was asking about cams before i bought my x3...

I stand corrected I had no idea they gave them better injectors for the same power

06vLo

its because they subtracted 4 from the ls6 to get it.....they need the extra injectors to make the same power....geez man get with the program....

I agree, Radeon should go install your cam. You should schedule it for the weekend of March 31 or April 7th.

Oh is that right?

Couldn't agree with you more Hopefully him and I can set something up cause if it wasn't for the labor everyone would start with heads and cam...taking the heads out scares me (leaks and such with my luck afterwards) so think I'm just gonna stick to the cam...

Yes....or at least a month after that.

The first thing you need to decide when purchasing the cam is how you want it to drive and idle. If you do not want cam surge, then go with LG's executive cam and FAST Intake, NW TB set-up. If you want a more aggressive idle and do not mind a little cam surge, then get the G5X2 or G5X3. Those are proven cams (All of LG's are great cams and make power). Decide where you want to make power - Up top or down low - I would suggest getting the grind on a 112 LSA, but they can also grind them on 114 LSA. Depends where you normally want to be in the RPM range. Torque is the key, as that is what you are going to "feel". HP keeps you going. If you are considering heads, go with Tony Mamo, along with the LG set-up. Proven combination - How do I know - I have had multiple cars made by them.

I hope that this helps. LG Motorsports is a great shop. Tony Mamo is the king of airflow for heads. It is important to match you set-up so you get the optimal power.
