John - Things are going great with me, how have you been? Sweet choice of cam, you may need something bigger than the X3 for a stroker anyways, it will be cool to see a TREX cam here in AZ, this way we can do some comparisons with the X3 and the TREX. I can't WAIT to drive that beast, I will hate driving my car after yours though

LG worked hard to research and develop the numbers for this cam
after working "too damn hard" for this cam,
why should they give the stats, and his money, away?

I understand very well why Lou won't give out the specs. BUT!! Thunder racing has no problem giving out their specs, I guess their R&D must be free. Cam blanks are cheap and all the grinding is done by a cnc grinder so there is very little cost. You can buy a S.B. chev cam for around a 100 to 200 bucks, about the same size for raw material, same time to grind AND some one did the R&D. I have been in sales on and off for 30 years now, and there is a saying when it comes to pricing" what ever the market will bear" I just like paying a fair price. Sorry if I afended any one, its just a cam.

And to whoever said it costs $100 to maket he cam......I guarantee you that it costs LG more than $100 to make one of those. The R&D and knowledgeable customer support of a great company like that is what you are paying for.

but i have been driving it for the past few hours like a sane driver
