Default What cam to go with??????????

If I keep my car Ill look to do a bigger cam. I want 440+ stock heads. I know these 3 cams will do it.
trex
g5x3
magic stick

What should I do guys. These cam are all around similiar size specs. I would like to keep it on a 112 or 113. Let me know

Yep..

If you're looking for 440+ you're definitely going to have to invest in some heads...

Or a little juice on top of one of those

Hi we have a special on for the AFR heads and our G5 X-3 cam. We use the Comp 921 springs with the AFR heads and mill them for the correct compression. That package is $2995 for the complete heads, G5x series cam and pushrods.

This will get you over 440, and probably over 450rwhp.

Thanks and give us a call

The G5X2 and X3 are two of the nastiest all around performer cams. With proper tuning they cause no driving issues except GOBS of power!
