I dont think the G5x3 is going to work out since its on the 112.

Could always give Vengeance a call and talk to them. They helped me out alot when I was trying to figure out my setup.

Hurley before you buy them have them magnafluxed to see if there are any cracks and also see how warped if at all they are.

It might save you alot of headaches down the road

the previous owner seems to have just slapped some heads on the car to get rid of it... one of the heads had been milled 10 thousandents, and the other 30, but they were warped and i cant really mill them any more so i'm lookin for some others...thats pretty much what is goin on.

I'm doing a lot of reading on a planned upgrade to G5X3 114 LSA and the AFR 205cc Mongoose heads PN:1510. The tech at LGMotorsports highly recommended the combination and I'm giving it real consideration. Maybe a combo you'd like to look into as well.

Any comments about this combo are welcome.

232/240 vs 234/242. Not really that much difference. I love the G5x2 I have, great cam!

Everything is going to fit fine.. The guy building it builds around 150 ls motors a years and this was the setup he recommended. But the heads haven't came in yet so car will be tuned and ready next week..

g5x3's with 112lsa clear just fine with stock ls1 and 6 heads. Ive known 3 people that didnt have a lick of trouble with the swap.

For hurley your car will be perfectly fine for streetable drive on a 112 just takes some getting used to.
