G5x1, G1, F13
G5x1, G1, F13 OK, after doing a little more research and talking to a couple members, I think I've narrowed my decision down to one of these three.
The specs on the cams are all similar so I figured, road manners would be about the same, and with a tune, they would be around the same ballpark powerwise. I know I'll get corrected if that isnt true.
G5X1 - 228/232 .588/.575 112
MTI G1 - 228/232 .588/.575 113
F13 - 230/232 .595/.585 112
I know they arent identical but not too many drastic differences. So, i guess what I'm asking is this. Is a cam a cam a cam? Right now, I'm leaning towards the G1 for the simple fact that MTI is about an hour from my house, I wont have to hassle with the shipping process. If something isnt correct on the order or with the cam, I can go to the shop and deal with them face to face.
Is this something I should really let influence my decision? Is one of the cams that much better than the G1? Would I kick myself later for getting the 113 LSA instead of the 112? I want that lope to be heard.

Any of those cams will make solid power. All of those would be even better on a 110 or 111LSA with only 1-2 degrees of advance.

Thats what I figured, I just didnt want to go with MTI because of the proximity and then regret it.
I did see on their website they will custom order a cam with your specs for no extra charge, so I could get the 228/232 with a 111 or 112 LSA.

I have a G1, definately lopes. People knew I had the car cammed when I got it. When, I got my TSP true duals with ST's, it turned heads, got lots of compliments. I now would definatley go maybe with a 111 or 112, just because it could sound that much more sick. Could have met you somewhere to let you hear it, but I blew a hole in my block and Im currently awaiting my LME 408.

When you get that 408, we can still meet up, I wouldn't mind checking that out.

You're right, it is. I messed up put the specs for the F13 high lift...
