I have run two G5X3 112 cams in my new set-up and had lifter failures both times. I AM NOT SAYING IT IS THE CAMS FAULT!! The first time it was my stock 82k lifters. Second time it was new comp replacements. It may be from some instability in my valvetrain. But even LGs shop told me people are having some failures on stock lifters , and not as many on comp Rs. I absolutely loved the G5X3!! Awesome on the street and track and sounds nasty as hell!! Im just a little paranoid at this point. The one problem that MAY be in my valvetrain is that I re-used my 42k double springs. I used these springs with a C1 cam for 42 k and probably should have replaced them on the new combo. Maybe after all those miles and heat soakings those springs are not up to the task of the G5X3? So Im replacing the springs and replacing the lifter that failed . I'm just afraid to drop another G5X3 in there! Any opinions??When you try to save a buck, it costs you in the long run!!!

In all honesty, if you're going through the trouble of putting in another cam, I'd stick a G5X4 in there. Do you have gears?
I had the Y1 with the old MTI S2 heads and fast 90 combo. Pulled 441rwhp and like 407trq with A4, stall and 12-bolt. Ran 10.90`s with 100 shot TNT. I loved it and the sound was badass! Had to flycut though! Good Luck!

I really liked it all the way threw. I had alittle problems with the tuning. I had a GMAF and it didn`t like the set-up. I got a LS6 MAF and lined it out. Great cam all the way threw. I did have a X1 before. Loved the X1, but the Y1 ROCKED.
