The specs are 232/240 .590/.609 112 correct? so whats the ICL? would the ramps have to be on a XE-R type lobe? thanks

 

Mr. Peanut!

I don't believe mr. lou hasn't told anyone what the icl is yet, i believe he is still keeping that a secert last i heard

 

I believe that Hicks is right... I spend a bit of time up at LGM (since it is right around the corner from my house), and last time I asked Lou anything about the G5X2 cam specs (to satisfy my own curiosity) he almost threw me out of there... JUST KIDDING!!

But seriously, he's still keeping a few things to himself on that cam...

 

Just to make it clear. The following statement is not a bash or meant in that way.


Why does everybody think/feel that every camshaft out there has something to do with a "XE-r" lobe?

 

Uh...... Maybe that's because the G5X-2 IS A XE-R Comp Cam........ :p

 

Not according to LG and I think he has cleared that up as well on these forums. Someone else thought TR's cams used the "XE-R" lobe, which isn't the case, and Paul @ TR cleared that up in another thread as well.

So whats so special about and XE-R lobe that everybody seems to be copying, which I know is not the case.

Being an engineer and having to design a camshaft and reverse engineer one as well I know there is A LOT MORE to designing and understanding a cam than a few obscure numbers. Even though a cam might have the same lift and advertised duration the differences can be between night and day!

So I ask again, whats so special about and "XE-R" lobe?
