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
That works for me.

Or what about an X3 110 on SWGT heads ?

I will never turn anyone away from flycutting, and lets keep in mind that most of the time its necessary, just not with the combos everyone is asking about

Wavrdr- this is a very common combo as you probably know. Rule of thumb is .055-.060 min. on the intake (thats close), and 80-100 on the exhaust. The more the merrier. With that setup (X3/114, 59cc AFRs and cometics) You are looking at ~ 80I/130E. Everyones setup will vary, but thats been the number.

OLD post, but believe it or not this is the first time I got an answer to my stock head and flycut with the g5x3. LOL, I guess better late then never, thanks Louis.
