228/234 .588/.598 112+2 ***Will it make 400rwhp?***
I had the custom grind made for me by a local place that does a lot of LSX work. Do you guys think this cam will make 400RWHP? I can't really find anything even close to it to compare it to. What are you ideas on this grind?
Car is a 00 ls1 WS6 M6 long tubes, cutout, lid, stock MAF, 85mm throttle body, 85mm BBK SSI manifold, and a tune. I have also been told this cam will chop and sound sick, i guess more than most cams. What determines the sound of a cam and how does it play into the grind below?

G5X1 is the same cam (or very close). LG Motorsports claimed it would make 405 rwhp cam-only. Not sure that anyone ever reproduced their results, though. I suppose it depends on what hp level you are starting from and how many hours you are willing to spend tweaking the cam timing and computer tune.
I'm running a Patrick G 230/230 and make 388 rwhp (MAC headers, LS6 intake). I have a friend that ran the G5X3 and made 420 rwhp cam-only (Kooks headers, LS6 intake).

i think it will make between 385-400. i don't know anything about that bbk intake though so that may help/hurt. i had a 228 r on a 112+2 and made 383 and that split on yours may help some so i think you will have a decent setup.

What it comes down to is the matching components. Good heads are key, as are compression, free-flowing intake and exhaust, and a proper tune.
The OP's cam "should" make over 400, provided he has all the right supporting components. I'm also not sure about that intake. I think with a FAST 92 (or 90) would help, but even an LS6 intake might be better than the BBK.
Anyway, good luck on your quest to 400!!!

I know its not the same, but fwiw, my 226/236 .525 110lsa is making that. Last time I dynoed, it made 393rwhp, but added stepped headers & got a retune, and it picked up 3 tenths and 4mph w/ the same crappy 60' time. So I'm guessing I'm in the 400hp range now.
