lg's cams perform, regardless of whether or not anyone agrees with their business tactics, period.

Most jack asses on here don’t know **** (Including myself) about cam specs and would just do the redneck educated guess and say "Well so and so has a cam close to this size and it cleared!" Then puts it in and kills some valves. So what do you think he is going to do now? Yep that’s right!! He calls LG up bitching. 3. Do you truly think the cam specs you hear about are the exact specs of the cam? I bet they are not even close and I would even bet that over time some cams might get a little update with out anyone knowing. 4. Why do you guys need to know the specs? Is it like a car putting out big RWHP on a dyno and getting that print out to spank it to? 
BTW Scrap that "slp 85mm mass air" you have in your parts list.

You need the specs so you can install the cam correctly. If yu don't degree your cam in, your shootin in the dark. Might work, might not. If someone was dumb enough to call a vendor about a cam they didn't even buy from there, that's there own dumbass fault. I really wonder if someone is that stupid?
my point is why should i deal w/ a stubborn a$$ company that cant post specs of their cam?

LG is afraid of people stealing their cams beceaue they charge a arm and leg for them. If they cost 350-380 like everyone else sells them for then they wouldnt have to worry about it. Everyone else does the same R&D and gets them grinded by the same guys, so the only reason LG costs more is because of the name.
But i will say there cams do make power, but so do most other, its your money, your car, so do what you want with it.

the same way that coca cola put the ingredients and nutritional information, i expect a cam company to have specs on their cam grinds.
i dont care how they produce it.
i like coca cola too, and i know it contains:
carbonated water, caramel color, phosphoric acid, asparatame, patassium benzoate, and other ingredients.
i also know: serving size, calories, total fat%, sodium %, total carbs %, and protein%.

The poeple who want cam specs when they buy a cam is not to duplicate it (hint: they allready have it), it is to degree it, match compression and DCR for optimum cam performance.
And to those who say that the specs are not what is posted here, there is a sample of where we get our speculations:

lg motorsports i just installed one of there cams the x5 it was expensive but i looked at what there cams make in power and the fact that at one time they had the fastest head and cam car out there with the cam i put in helped me decide and my car has every option execept heads and pulley but i did not really think i need a custom cam when i a 2000 ta with 6spd fast 90/90 and 410 gears headers lid ac delete. in my opinion unless i'm running nitrious or supercharger or turbocharge. but overall i'm happy i didn't dyno as much as i wanted only 437.5 rwhp at about 6700 and only 391 but car drives like a rocket and drivablity is great considering its a daily driver on a 346 motor. just wanted to offer some imput.

you would rather blindly take there word for it, then to do the research, and find a cam that would best suite your needs.
sorry, that just doesnt make sense to me.

You talk that they won't give you the specs for you to match up setups with, but I don't see why you guys can't discuss your setup with them, to see whether they would recommend one of their off-the-shelf cams vs. a custom one ground by them?

actully you can discuss with them what your looking for i did the same thing i was looking for a bigger than the t rex that would perform with heads and be the biggest cam i could drive on the street and they gave me that even though they told me it was too big i'm happy with it. not sure if i just got lucky but i do know the specs they were on the box so i'm happy
