Doesnt say anything about it on LG's site. I take it you just saw his post about the ETP's and G5x3v2. I want to know what the G5XB is!

G5XB is a cam for blower applications.

Im assuming the G5x3 v2 is similar to the the regular X3 except for using LSK lobes on the intake side.

Top secret, dont worry about it

There is only one in existence, so you got the tried and true X3. The cam I spoke of is what we are calling it at this point, which will most likely be re-named before its release. I have 5 new cams I am testing at this point. You all will know first hand what the results are when I post them

Trying some different combos, header testing, cam testing, head testing. And testing my limits of what I can do in my off time

We will keep you posted

Louis

Thanks a million. And thanks for a sweet cam. This thing is amazing. Tame as a kitten to drive, but mean as a snake when I stomp it.

What evidence makes you say that? Were your track times that bad?

To each his own, I have a "torquer"/"midrange"/ "tirelathe"/"pantydropper" cam in the works as well.

Hey N4cer, how are my 4:10 gears holding up for you? Sounds like the car has come a long way since last I saw it. Enjoy the new cam!

Sounds like you dont know how to drive or you dont have the proper supporting mods. Im going with my first guess though.

The X3 has been proven as a top performer over and over again.

That is the first time I have heard anyone say anything bad about the G5X3. I just ordered mine today with the LG Pro's. It's fixing to get dirty kids!!

Well, JoeSS couldn't back up why a proven performer would be worse than a lower hp cam. Can you? Or are you just making the statement with no evidence?

What about the X3 did you not like? Mine's great shifting at 6800.
