Default g5x-3 specs instead of tr 230?

i have a tr 230 now and was wondering how much better the g5x-3 is than the tr 230 if any.. i just want to know the specs on it.. i would have to go with the 112.. my pistons are cut but do not think my heads are milled... what kind of power does it put down and anyone leak the specs of it yet?? im not sure if the ol tr 230 is cuttin it..

any dyno comparrisons of the 2 or with a x1?? thanks

Your low-end power will deffinatly pick up, ALOT. If your pistons are cut, I would swap them out. The increase should be well worth it. The X-3 is a bit bigger on the intake and alot bigger on the exaust. You need to make sure you get a spring that can handle it though.

Go get a big ole cam with that intake and gear and youll be going backwards silly. Your losing it boy. You havent even gave the TR230 a chance yet. Im beginning to think you just like typing.

The X-3 is much smaller than the T-rex. As for the original question, there is no way to guesstemate the additional hp and et's. There are to many factors involved. On the bright side, there will be gains. The biggest gain will be under the curve. Peak will prolly be about 10-15 rw. Under the curve wins races though.

I dont have to search for his posts, their all over. I think he needs to have some confidence in all of us on his car. We got fast cars all over and a lot of knowledge around here. If he'll listen we will make him just as fast. Im not trying to bust his *****, just trying to motivate him and we know thats hard. Later.
