The X1 put down some good numbers, but it's kind of an "old school" ls1 grind. That is, since it was designed, cam profiles for ls1's have come a long way. There are grinds available now that should make more power and be more driveable. If you want to go MTI, I would give them a call, I'm sure they've got some good grinds.

Another local guy had one with stock heads and full bolt ons and was in the 38x range

Loved this cam, was extremely hesitant to convert to a new grind (more nitrous friendly). Cam supprisingly loved the spray though. Put down 494/511 with 100 shot (h/c boltons, was running rich). Doesn't sound like much, but the amount of torque this setup had was incredible, very flat torque curve starting at 2400rpm! Went up to a 175shot had no problems.

*Graph included*

Hope this helps.
