Default finished the afr205 and g5x3 cam today.

well,it's done and running. this time it only took 12hrs(25hrs last time)the x3 cam sounds the same as the x2 did. i have not went over 4,000rpm's yet so i feel no difference between cams. the car seems to have more power rowing through the gears as i floored it to 4,000 1st through 4th. no tune,no dyno #'s yet. i'll get back to ya all.last time 380hp mustand dyno and 431 dyno jet. we will see soon if the afr heads are better then another sponcers ported head. mike c.

If everone actually new the diffrence in specs between these 2 cams, they wouldn't even bother with the swap. It's deffinatlly not worth it unless your in there already doing heads or something internal. Hope it does good for ya.

Well of the 4 LG cams I've personally installed, every car put down over 395hp and had one hell of a torque curve. I guess if 1 thing is certain it's that you'll put down some good power.

How well do you understand cams??

Everyone that complains about needing to know specs should really understand cams. Just because Cam A has more duration at .050 (Where cams are rated) doesn't mean it is a bigger cam!!! Please take a look here https://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-internal-engine/158394-camshaft-discussion-part-iii.html


Example and then it can go back on topic..

Com 240 XER lobe
.006 - 289* duration
.050 - 240* duration
.200 - 161* duration

.605 lift


My proposed Lobe
.006 - 260
.050 - 220
.200 - 160

.600 lift


What lobe is bigger?
What would you be more concerned with in your motor clearing things?

But the 240 XE-R is sooo much bigger at .050 than the proposed 220. See where I am going?

sorry,lack of info. the heads are milled to 59cc and i went with the cametic 0.40 gasket. i was told the x3 makes 10hp more only on the topend then the x2 does. other then that the two are verry close. 380hp stang dyno,i'm hopeing for 420hp on the same dyno. that would put me in the 470ish on a dyno jet. the dyno jet had me at 431hp. the ap stang dyno is a humbler.

I don't see what your talking about and I understand cams quite well. The only number that is similar is your .200 numbers. Not to mention your "proposed" lobe dosen't exsist unless you are having it custom ground to beat the seats out of your heads and break/wear out valvesprings like a SOB. That's by far one of the most rediculously "rough" lobe designs I've ever seen. Where did you come up with those numbers at? I would think a cam grinder would laugh when you told them those specs just for the above stated reasons. Not trying to be an ***, I'm really just wondering.
