Default Actually Gains from G5x3

I hope this subject hasnt been worn out but what are real life gains seen from the LG's g5x3 cam after an efficient tune. Where does it make power and how are the torque numbers as well. My personal setup has Patriot double springs (timing chain pushrods etc.) anyone similiar? I am axiously awaiting my car to get done and see the numbers it produces.

I made 411/372 with a G5X3 on a 112 with a full exhaust, a lid and tune in AZ, so You will see over 400rwhp. Cam starts to take off around 3k rpms. TQ was great for me.

Doesnt get any better then that with a cam only swap. I do have a MTI throttle body, lid and lingenfelter intake so from what is posted here im pretty confident in reaching 400's.

thanks guys

I am hoping for over 400 with the X3 too. Right now I have the X2 mated to a LS6 intake and got 373HP and 350 TQ but that is through my 12 bolt and 17x11 wheels. I am hoping for over 400 with that and a FAST 90/90 setup.
