all you need to know is that it makes 400rwhp with stock heads through an automatic and it fits without flycutting

I'm sorry, but was that supposed to blow me away? Because it surely did not. Maybe if it was on a Mustang dyno then I would be impressed. There are a number of LS1 GTO's with close to those kinds of numbers with cams much smaller than the MS4 ....

Maybe in a M6 but not in an A4 and the GTO's have LS6 heads not LS1 heads.

with LS1 STOCK heads and through an AUTOMATIC it should impress you, unless you dont have the slightest idea about LSx motors.

Oh, I very much have an idea of the LSx motor. There are A4 LS1 cam-only GTO's making 380rwHP+. Not a whole lot, but it's been done. Then take into account that GTO's drivetrain eats up more HP than an F-body does and you'd be right near 400rwHP.

Also, I'm pretty sure there are a number of MS4-only owners who could claim the same kinds of numbers on their F-bodies. When you have cams like the T-Rex making close to 450rwHP on a stock LS1, a cam that is as big as the G5X4 making only 400rwHP+ isn't all that impressive (assuming the number is close to 400). Now, obviously if there is proof that this cam makes a hefty amount of power, by all means, prove me wrong .... I'm not trying to start a flame war or put down LG, I just want to know what cams are making some serious power and if the G5X4 is putting down crazy numbers, I would be more than happy to jump on it. However, saying that it makes over 400rwHP doesn't seem all that impressive for as big of a cam as it is speculated to be.

Magnus made 390 through an automatic with the G5x4, and went 10.20s

Dynos vary. A lot. Take your pick, both cams are good, both shops are good.

Ive made as much as 460 on stock heads with an X4, and as little as 385. Its all about the combo and how you set it up and what your goals are with it. You wont be dissappointed, I will guarantee you that

Yes, but you make it seem like the A4 will cut the power gains in half. 3% average, 5% TOPS. Now, Louis's numbers are something to talk about!!
