G5xB cam installed Hello
Well I decided to go with the LG's G5xB cam and replace the G5x3 cam I had. I loved the x3 but with the new A&A Vortech going on I wanted a little friendlier blower cam. With the x3 I dynoed 431/397 with the xB it was 413/387, not as much loss as I thought it would be. I will try to get a copy of the dyno sheet and post it as soon as possible. The best part about the cam is so far I have not experienced any cam surge. With the x3 I need to keep the rpm above 1500 rpm, and I would never go into 6th at anything below 65 mph. As a test I put the car into 6th at 52 mph with the rpm about 1200 with no problems. It has a little lope to it, not near as mean as the x3 but still good sound. I will also post a sound clip when I get the car back.
