Default G5X3 Opinions

Gentleman, looking for some thoughts and opinions on the G5X3 cam.

I did some searches and all I could really come up with are random comparisons to TRex, MS4 and other large cams. Most of it was a discussion of the specific numbers that were related to each cam...a lot of which I don't have a complete understanding of yet.

So with that in mind, what do you guys think of that particular cam? I emailed LG a couple times with questions and they said it would work perfectly fine with my mostly stock C5. They said there may be slight surging below 1600rpm, but nothing that would make the car buck or to that extreme. They said otherwise it's a completely streetable cam that makes great power.

What are your thoughts on this? I was just going to get their cam package that comes with all the necesary bits to make sure that it works great with the stock engine. I will be talking to my tuners tomorrow afternoon, but I figured I'd see what you guys have to say as well so I could think of more questions to ask them based on your opinions.

So what do you guys think?

As with any cam it needs a few supporting mods.
What are your actual mods and your planned ones?

On a related note, for those of us worried about emissions, will this cam with AFRs milled to 59cc pass emissions?

My current mods are B&B Route 66 and Halltech Stinger only. LG themselves said in an email to me among the questions I asked, that it will operate fine on a stock vehicle. You guys think I would still run into issues?

My other question was going to be about emissions...I guess these won't pass?

That would mean they are completely out of the question now since I live in Washington...
