He had a crappy ls1 intake, and very restrict exhaust.

Hell I made 403 rwhp with boltons and cam only using the g5x3. No pully or electric water pump either. So his setup is WAY too restrictive for what the x4 cam can do.

Let him open her up with some good longtube headers and a 90/90 combo and he'll see what the g5x4 can do.
