Any cheaper cam's that are the equivalent of G5x3?
 
Thinking about a cam and would want the g5X3, but the cam kit is $1200! :jest: Others are much cheaper. For example TSP sells their cam kits for $699 and the parts are just as good...or at least seem to be. Any off the shelfers that are pretty much the equivalent of the G5x3, or maybe order a custom grind?

Most hydraulic rollers will cost about $400.00 that whole $1200.00 is springs pushrods and install most likely.

You want a cam only, no kit? Give bobby a call tomorrow- 972-429-1963. I will give him the OK for a price match. ;)
