Which cam makes the BEST power on full bolt-ons with the stock unmilled heads? I searched, but could not find much info. Emissions, drivability and flycutting are not issues, I need the most power I can get out of a cam. G5X3? G5X4? F-?? TREX? TSP?? etc, etc??????? I know I will need springs, retainers, lifters, etc, etc. I dont want to touch the heads now, but maybe in the future I will get some good flowing ones. BTW, a th400 and 4:88 gears are going behind the motor. Thanks for the input, Joey

Thats good to know, I am leaning toward the LG cam, it is my first choice, but wanted to see what compared to it (if any).
Louis, I need a package with this cam, lifters, push rods, under pulley, timing chain, head bolts, gasket kit, etc, etc. Can you PM me with some pricing?

t-rex or g5x4 either one will do what you need. personally i run the t-rex but my decision was easier since the x4 wasnt out yet. i havent seen the track yet on the new setup but it made 430/390 without even having full boltons

It all depends on what you wanna do.
Bigger cams will make more power, but in a more narrow powerband.
Honestly, the F-15 is the biggest cam I'd ever want in a stock heads + bolt-ons application.

I was torn between the T-Rex and the G5X4. I made my decision and just purchased the G5X4. I'm hoping for 10.80's @ 123. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm about 400~500 lbs heavier than Magnus and 01-Z.
Lou, can you tell me what the LSA is of the G5X4 or is it top secret? I could have sworn I heard it was either a 111 or a 108, I can't remember.
Edit: Nevermind, I found the link where you say it is on a 111. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...light=G5X4+LSA

If flycutting isn't an issue, you're certainly not limited to those you listed, as they were designed to be used without valve reliefs.
I believe the T-ReX is still the biggest, but the title of baddest seems to change from week-to-week.

You wont be disappointed with either the G5X4 or the T-Rex...
If you want an opinion between the two, I would go with the T-Rex. Yes, currently the two fastest are using the G5X4, but Rodney with the t-rex, is right there as well, and goin through a 6 speed.

I wouldnt say that, 01-Z and Magnus have the exact opposite engine packages when it comes to the bottom end.
Magnus is on a 99 or 98 long block with the 85x castings, and 01-z is on the 01 longblock with the 241 castings.
Both make 413 rwhp, both run 10.29s @ exactly 128.48 mph.

ill say the trex is definaltly the baddest imo, im a half tenth behind but 3 mph up on the other guys at the moment but i have a good 150lbs and im running a stick. just for comparison sake, in 2 identical cars im confident the trex would win. but maby im a lil biased. however the next few weeks shall hopfully prove this with no doubt.
stay tuned for further updates
