I should have numbers for everyone next Saturday. I'm going to a dynoday at MTI, and will post the numbers and graph as soon as we get done. Just buy the stuff, you will absolutely love it.
Man, that's scary. The 114 LSA had .205" valve drop, which equates to about 75 thousandths clearence. The 112 has to be in the high 100's on valve drop and way to close for comfort. LG reccomended .220" valve drop.

Hey, your local..... our idea of streetable is the same. My set-up that is currently being built in an iron block, solid roller, twin turbo, 3.50 rear, with a TH400 trans (3600 stall). Sounds streetable to me.

What size (tall) tires do you use on the street?

Sweet, sounds very streetable to me!!!!

I run a 275/60-15 (28" tall) tire on Weld Draglites 15x10 on the street

Yeah, as long as it'll idle, and won't constantly be breaking springs and stuff like that every couple thousand miles, then it's streetable and daily driveable to me! And it doesn't really matter if the low end is down a bit, cuz with my big, loose stall, i'm never on the low end, hehe, but this cam and the G5X-2 seem to have pretty good low end for such big cams! I also have full 3" true duals (longtubes into an x-pipe and 12" long bullets dumped at the axle), so the car is loud as ****, but that's how I like it!

Also, do you think this cam would run good with my Turbo 400 w/ 4000 stall and 3.73 gears (couldn't go higher than 3.73 cuz I drive it on the street and need some cruisability), or do I need a little smaller cam since I don't have too steep of a gear? Thanks!

I'm running mine with a 3.23 gear. I do wish it was shorter, but the driveability is realy not bad at all. It needs to warm up for about 3 minutes and then the drivability is great. The big stall will definately help, I'm running a 3600 stall in mine.
