G5X3 or TSP MS

I'm stuck between these 2 cams. I'll have to notch the pistons either way. I got the PP Stage II heads LSX intake and TB, and 150 TNT as well as all bolt ons and fuel and computer upgrades. Car is an A4 w/stall. Used for street and strip, What are some opinions? I just can't fricking pick.

ive had nothing but good luck, and consistent dynos with the G5X cams... the X3 maintains perfect drivability even on auto cars as long as you get a decent tune in there! My vote goes for the X2 or X3 on a 114

I just got MTI`s new Y1 234 240 .598 .608 113 LSA and i GOT 441rwhp with 403rwtq N/A and got 650rwhp and 660rwtq on 150 TNT F2 with my A4. This is with stock bottom and safely tuned for spray with 12 bolt, 3.73 gears and stall. This cam rocks! The sound is sweet and the lobe is badass! I can`t wait to get track times! Check Sig!

Thanks

Sweet from what I can tell. I`m having problems with the Fast TB right now. We are putting a TPIS on monday to fix it. Your going to love this cam. Pulls hard, nice lope, sweet sound. I still got 20-22 mpg driving home from MTI. I love it so far!

I'm thinking I might go with the G5X3 cam. Of course as soon as I do they will come out with a new cam that shames this one. It always works that way!

Of course now I need to decide on LSA. 112 or 114? It is an auto so maybe the 114 would be better?

With the 114 you won't have to notch your pistons. I finally got the money for a G5X3 setup, so that's what I'm doing in the spring (among other things)
