G5X2 H/C on A4 car? Hey everyone. I have all my supporting mods done and have enough money for the cam and valvetrain I want. I have my SLP cai/lid, LS6 intake (might upgrade to the TPiS version), ASP pulley, Pacesetter LT's/ORY, Corsa catback, 3800 stall, and 3.73's. I also have about 150-175# of weight reduction. I want a G5X2...I've decided, and I eventually want to get heads too for more torque and power. I was thinking of either going stealth and porting my stock heads so it all looks stock from under the hood, or going with the Dart 205's or 225's. How would a G5X2 H/C engine be with a 3800 stall/3.73 A4? Any comments/opinions/advice? Please let me know.

This is very simular to what i have going into my GTA TA very soon. You will like the cam..good N/A power and bottle performance from everything i have seen. Thats why i bought one.
with the right tire and that cam your in the 11's N/A for sure.

i had the x2 cam,it was great. but,the x3 cam is better. why do you want dart heads? who on this site has them to prove how good they are? i don't know of anyone.what reaserch have you done to get this info? i do know my AFR205 heads picked up 47hp OVER another ported head that was on my car. my car runs near 10's all motor stock weight(and i still don't have all the boltons yet) and close to 9's on the juce.

This is more or less the set up I have on my car but a 3500 stall and my heads are not dart, I still have one free restall and when I have the tranny out next I will probably have it stalled a little higher. I would not change anything I have done but instead of doing it a piece at a time I would do it all at once. Hope this helps

I have a blast with mine, but then again I have a 4200 stall. I put down 417rwhp 403rwtq. Traction sucks and I need a 12 bolt. Other than that my car runs like a bat out of HELL. My car looks completely stock, stock hood, stock 16" wheels, dirty engine bay. Until someone says turn it on 
then I get the OH **** look.

I just had my car tuned at Next Level performance in Orlando and couldn't be happier, Car pulls really hard through 6500rpm. Car put down 392 to the wheels,stock heads...
I love the G5X3 on 114.
AFR's are next on my list.

I think the 225's will be to big for that cam and a stock cube motor. I think Tony Mamo did a test on his 383 and sayed that he liked the results of the 205's on that more than the 225's. Anything bigger and thats were the 225's shine.
I asked Tony Mamo and Louis at LG which heads would be better suited for my stock cube motoer and G5X4 cam and both sayed the 205's, with a good amount of milling on them to bump up the compression.

I think you will be happy no matter what heads you pick
Just be sure to check PTV, and when that time comes I will help you make sure it is all good to go if you are unsure what will fit/wont fit/needs flycutting.
My preference is the AFR 205s, but stock castings ported by a reputable porter can go a long way as well.
We are doing extensive head testing with ET, RHS, DART and a few others. I hope to report on those sometime after the new year

Check out Patriot heads...they are priced very reasonably.
What size stall you got to match the cam?
Glad to hear you will be doing the swap yourself as it will save you a lot of money.
