Pay attention to pvc with your future heads. The bigger valves usually mean less clearance.

i'm gonna go with the patriot ls6 stage II heads 59cc chamber, do you think there could be any clearance problems with either one of those cams? I know the ms3 has a little larger lift than the f13.

The ms3 will work better with the nitrous.

Yes, more duration actually...and it's been proven to work well with nitrous. I haven't really seen many run an f-13 with nitrous. The g5x3 works great with nitrous as well. More so than the ms3. That's probably the best off the shelf nitrous cam on the market for your everyday driver.

Get the g5x4 from lg motorsports. If you don't daily driver it that will be your best bet. It makes crazy power on and off the bottle.

LG motorsports makes the G5 series cams. they wont release the specs of the the g5x3 or the g5x4.

i know the g5x2 is a 232/240...lift is something like .595/.600 or .610??

From what I could gather, that is X2 and X3

G5X2
232/240, .595/.608, 112/114

G5X3
234/242, .600/.610, 112/114

What I know If I am not wrong that the G5x4 would have better clearance than the X3.

You might call and ask LGM about clearance. There is no way that they would not tell you if it will clear on the heads you want to run. probably simple yes or no answer.
