The G5X-2 is only installed by LG. LG did the install on RAGEman's car. He can tell you about driveability but from hearing the car idle it does kind of search for an idle sometimes.
The car is a beast though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

LG did the install on rageman's car, however you can now get the cam mail order. I can tell you that I have driven a G5X2 car and drivability wasn't bad at all. Didn't buck at low RPM's etc... Another thing that impressed me was that we drove a G5X2 Heads/Cam car and a stock Z28 from Indiana to Dallas and both cars used within two tenths of a gallon of gas over 1100+ miles. It's a great cam.

I've got it in an A4 and the driveability is great! 1100 rpm A/C idle, and a 950 with A/C off.

I believe RAGEman put down 403 RWHP through a 9" Spool and SLP LT's.
