Default G5X2 cam

today i heard a guys car with that cam in it, all i have to say is DAYUM!! any one know the specs on this cam, and would it be a good cam to put in the daily driver that goes to the track every weekend? I was told that it is about as big as you can go on stock heads. is that true? could someone explain. i beleive it hase 595 lift, and i would assume its a Pto V clearence problem if you go bigger

Alex's car sounds bad-A$$, don't it?

Specs: 232/240 595/612 112 LSA

It's fine for a stock headed car, and fine for a daily driver with a proper valvetrain and tuning.

You'll need:
LS1Edit
G5X2 Cam
CC Dual Drop-In Valve Spring Kit
Hardened 7.400" Pushrods

To maximize your gains:
LS6 intake
Long Tube Headers w/ORY
UDP
Cutout

It should do fine. Just be sure to NOT get the 5.3s milled. A surface clean at the MOST! If you mill them very much you'll have PVC issues and that would suck

BTW, get TEA 5.3 heads setup with dual valvesprings.

What kind of power can you expect with the G5X2 cam and 5.3 heads?
