Default Question on G5X3 cam??

I was considering putting this caminto a 2000 LS1 A4 Camaro. Its got stock internals with motsly all the bolt on's with a NOS DRY 100 shot. What I wanted to know is would this be a good cam to go with and would it still be pretty streetable. Its a dailey driver and Iv heard that its a pretty big cam. Also what kinda gain should I expect from it tuned and all. Right now I'm running a 12.4 @ 110 with 1.7's 60ft.... Any and all opinons & experiances would be greatly appreciated..

keep in mind streetable is a relative term. being a daily driver i wouldnt go that big, you'll want a 4k+ stall too since you have an a4. the x3 is a great huge power cam but a4 + daily driving i'd go smaller. what are your bolt ons, you'll want a stout induction and exhuast setup for a cam like that.

might want to look into the X2, it would prolly be a better cam for ya. Also with the X3 you need to replace the lifters because of the massive spring pressure on the comp springs that LG uses.

The bolt on I have right now are Vig 3200 stall, 3.42's,SLP long tube headers, HPP3, cutout, whisper lid with mass air, no cats, free mods. If you guys think that cam is to big for my car sicne1)its a A4 and 2) its a daily driver what cam would you guys recomend?? What about a custom grind cam from comp cams?

I also think you will need more stall fior an X-3. I think you will fine with an X-2 or X-1 from LG. Will will need some good tuning in your case being that you are A4. Good luck!

depends on your goals, daily driving a4 with 3200 stall i'd stick in the 224-230 range on a 114.

official x3 specs arent released from my knowledge, its bigger then the x2 obviously but not big enough to require fly cutting with stock heads.
