You don't need a cam card to install it. As far as I know it is a straight up LSA which means you just connect the dots.

As for those two cams I am pretty sure the MS3 and the G5X3 are about the same size, and the X4 is a little bigger than both of them.

Dot to Dot with either of those cams is fine. No cam card due to the LGM secret specs.

If you buy a cam from them, you don't know how big it is? Or are you not allowed to post it.

They don't release the info. You just research and see that it performs how you want or not. And for the record, very few find an LG cam that doesn't perform how they want.

Go with the G5X4. That's a no-brainer.

You could always get a custom cam ground. I have the X4 and love it. Pulls like a beast.

Same here... But I am sure you meant stock length not stock push rod. A hardened push rod is what ya want.

Well of course. That's a no-brainer. But good catch. I guess even a no-brainer leaves room for error sometimes.

If you are looking at the G5X4, The MS4 would be a closer cam than the MS3. The MS4 is a nice cam too. I am biased though.
