btw, if you want raw power, and you think the g5x3 is too tame, i think you're just gonna have to "settle" for a solid roller setup. i guess all these guys that are edging their ways to 500rwhp h/c just aren't layin down enough "raw power" for you.

you know maybe we should quit ragging on the guy...he had a simple question...if anybody knows the answer just ANSWER the damn thing...just remeber that we were all there once to..


like i said...bigger isnt always better, but look in to the t-rex cam...it puts down hella power and a huge power band...ie 3000-7200 but that is a HUGE CAM....and it is a bitch to tune...but 430 is worth it to me
