Default Lgx4 / T-rex Streetable?

From what Im learning .. the X4 and T-rex are extremely similar (correct me if im wrong). I've been speaking to a few people and checking out sound clips to match em up.

I know the T-REX is 242/248 .608/.612 110+2

Is the LGX4 CAM "streetable" for an every day driver street/strip car? (w/cnc'd ls6 heads, headers, exhaust)..

When it comes to the X4 cam its a "secret" and nobody knows the exact specs, does anyone know a really close estimate? Im guessing its in the 230's-mid 240's and 110-111 LSA

Any feedback appreciated

i think the X4 is more streetable than the trex however the x4 is way smaller than the trex for about 3 or 4 duarations . its all on the tune .

Theorhetically...they can both be made streetable. If you plan on revving your motor up to 7000 RPM, then these are good cams for you. But they wont make good power untill way up in the rev range.

Smaller is relative. I fully know the specs on the X4. Is is just slightly smaller (2 degrees lees duration on the intake lobe) and one degree less LSA. Bottom line is that either cam can drive fine on the street with a proper tune or either cam could be a major pain without a good tune.
