What about DCR?
What about degreing?
How the hell can I put an efficient performing combo together if I do not have the .006, .200 specs? Not to mention ICL?
Some poeple that do not really understand how it works just stick it in there blindly, or they just rely on what LG feeds them.
Do their cams work? Hell yes.
Are the combos optimised with their cams? Very few if you are not having the whole work done inhouse at LG.
Can their cams still be copied? Hell yes, and some of them are floating on this board right under their eyes (But if you mention LG in your post, it will vanish
)

We C.D.ed a X3, it's no big secret..... I have to agree, with the majority, who gives a flip, give up the cam card, so it can be installed safely and correctly...

I think part of the reason they don't give it out is because it's a lot smaller than most people probably assume that it is, from the power that it makes. I was very surprised about the X3 specs when I heard them.

G5X4 specs? Just add 2 degrees of duration on each side over the G5X3...a little bit more lift too... 
Mine's a little bigger lift-wise, but the X4 is one of my favorites.

Several years ago I had several runins with LG. First runin was me trying to get the spring-rates on their G2 springs so I could have Sam Strano revalve me a set of bilsteins. They would not budge on divulging the spring rates to me upon purchase, so I instead took my business elsewhere.
Second runin was over one of the early G5X cams, (G5X2 i think). Once again, I wanted specs before I bought the cam... I'm not one to take the advice of someone who does not know me, the goals and manners I expect from my car, or what my entire combonation consists of or will consist of. Once again they would not budge on giving me the specs of a cam I was serious about buying. So I again took my business elsewhere. I ended up purchasing a different cam through another vendor. In the end when the specs were let out... the cam I bought was very similar to theirs. Their hard headedness resulted in another lost sale for them.
I have since not even attempted to purchase anything from LG again, and will not even consider putting their parts on my car.
