Now that the secret is out.......
Now that the secret is out....... What are the specs on the LG G5X2 cam? I keep seeing people referring to it now that the specs are out, but haven't seen the specs anywhere. What are they?

Re: Now that the secret is out....... even the specs that are out (the ones Lou gives w/ the cam purchase now) are not enough to go grind your own cam. the ones that where "obtained" from an unautherised source by folks @ T/R havent been posted yet as far as i know.
Re: Now that the secret is out....... I'm not trying to grind my own cam, Im just curious as to what the specs ended up being, and its too early to call LGM. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

didnt mean to imply you wanted to grind your own cam, just making a comment on the info that is out there.

Hell maybe Lou stole the specs from Thunder, who knows.

It just so happens that I gave T.Burger the G5 cam specs who let the cat out of the bag last time. Funny thing is I just asked someone that worked at LG and they told me!!!!

Re: Now that the secret is out....... I am not that unhappy, At least now you will all know when the Monkey see, Monkey do cams hit, with either the same or similar specs. We always
Oh and by the way, ......................
Rageman just did an 11.18 @ 124 tonight, with his G5X-2 cam only, with Stock heads and he says he is not even started!!!
And the first G5X-2 LS1 head and cam package just left here. It came out 455rwhp 420rwtq <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> And he is coming back for final tuning. Still more in there!
I guess we are more happy than sad.

Re: Now that the secret is out....... For what it's worth, no matter what the power, I wouldn't put a cam in my car without knowing the specs. Nice to see that some people have such blind faith... not me.
Re: Now that the secret is out....... That cool... i ordered a custom cam from LG XE-R 232/230 114 maybe i will be lucky enough to hit some 10s with ported heads since the cam only car got bottom 11s! WOOT!!!

Re: Now that the secret is out....... I would also like to know the lift, not only for piston/valve clearance, but for buying springs, and considering the future and drivability of the car.
No way in hell I would just slap a cam in without knowing the basic specs.
Good job Lou, but anyone who knows a machine shop can get the specs so why worry so much about it?
It honestly makes me not want it because of that.
Again, no harmful meanings here, just honesty.
Good numbers!
