Default G5 Cam questions.

I'm thinking of buying the G5 from another board member on here... but I'm wanting to make 400 at the wheels on stock heads. With that cam, bolt-ons, anf tunning... is it possible? It's an M6.

Anyone have any problems with this cam? It's a 224/230 581/570 112 LSA cam... I know I'll need pushrods, 918's, and titanium retainers, but am I forgetting anything in the equation? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I made 403/383 with stock LS6 heads. That was with the stock Ti catback, and through the C5 IRS.

Several other folks with LS1's have made over 400rwhp with the cam and all bolt-ons, and tuning.

Your goal of 400 RWHP is well within reach with the G5. Feel free to give me a call when you are ready to buy springs, retainers, etc., and I'll see if I can help ya out some.
