Re: G5X2 with an auto?

I am pretty sure I want one in my auto. I called LG last week to talk to Lou about it, but he was in a meeting. I left a message but never got a call back. I am going to order a cam in the first week of June, so hopefully I can get some info on the G5X2 by then...

Re: G5X2 with an auto?

ive had idle hell with my 224/224 114 cam, so its no way i'd even think of that cam for my A4. Mine is just one of the cars that doesnt like a cam 100% even with tuning..

Re: G5X2 with an auto?

what kind of MHP are you guys seeing with this cam. with the RWHP dyno #s I would expect 126- too 128MPH that is really bad ***. for a heads cam car.

Re: G5X2 with an auto?

I have it in a 2000 A4, no complaints on the cam. I'm still learning about LS1 edit so the computer programming is going slow. The cam idles fine at 950 and drives better than stock at all rpm's except below 1200. I still have to do the WOT and the open loop still needs some work. I am pulling out the PYE3400 soon and having it restalled to something looser (SY3500 or SY4000) and I will be running a SSF3500 while my PYE is at Yank.

Re: G5X2 with an auto?

I have the G5-X2 in my auto Camaro. With a 3800 TCS convertor and 3:73 rear gears and with tuning by MMT it drive very easy at all rpms. The low end torque is amazing. The motor made 435 rhp with a base tune.
