G5x3 vs. MS3
Hi Bob last question from me on the subject here. I know you said it wont clear stock heads on a 110 lsa. What about with -2cc valve reliefs? If it would clear would I benefit on the low end better?

Verdad Gallardo .646 lift is insane pred, I'm thinking about a 108 on x3 though with 4 degrees advance ground in. What do you think its charateristcs will be like? I'm trying to make the long duration more low end friendly.

I'm contemplating running that cam in my 370 ci (A4)
108+3 will definately bring the power on much earlier, but it will be peaky and might not benefit from 7000 rpm blasts.
But with 29* overlap that WILL be insane
The VE.s look good, more exhaust biased. worth a try IMO

Hey Lou,
What lifter do you recommend with the G5X3? Myself and a few others have had problems with stockers , comp replacement, and comp rs? Your shop told me that "people arent having as much problems with the Rs, but still some failures" Whats your opinion?
Thanks Paul

6.0 with G5X3 will a stock 6.0 lq9 work good with G5X3 cam and its stock 317 heads and of course ls1 intake and if so what lsa could i get at. i need some advice on which cam to get cause i want to see low numbers oh and this is going in a 2000 camaro..
After considering everything I had LME work with someone and spec me out a cam for my car. Looking at my cars weight, gearing, n2o and how I want it to drive it they came up with something in the g5x2 range on a 112 lsa with 6xx lift. Not sure of the lobes. Its the best way to buy a cam but if I had to buy another off the shelf it would have been the x2 or x3.
