well i bought the g5x1
still would like to see some torques curves i know someone here has one. (preferably with stock heads)seems like i seen a comparison from someone which compared 3 different cams but i cant find it with the search.
also i know these specs are not ideal for nitrous BUT what are the drawbacks
125 wetshot on g5x1 228/232 .588/574 112 how is the nitrous going to affect the
more air in and less air out? p.s wifes gonna be pissed told her cam would idle like stock ohshit (keep me in your prayers)

I have the G5X1 in my car. That graph sounds about right. This cam gives up a little on the low end but really picks up on top. I would def. recommend gears.
Good luck on the tune. I never realized the full potential of the cam b/c I never had it tuned and am pulling it out for a turbo kit in the next few days. Without a tune, it idled like ****. Cold starts are a bitch and until you idle for a couple minutes and make a few stops I had to give it gas to keep it from dying. Once it found an idle it sounded badass though!

true that.. looks like the 224 cam had the best A/F of all 3.. the other 2 cams looked a little to lean mor my tastes.. i'd like to see them all with the same rough A/F
