Custom Cam Grind off of G5X2... Ok, this cam sounds NICE and makes an approx. a$$-load of power everywhere, but on a 112, not to A4 friendly w/out tuning. So, if you cut the cam 232/240 .595/.609 115lsa what would happen to the powerband, and would it not be more streetable for an A4 w/out tuning (more of crutch until thorough tuning can be achieved? Thanks Lots. Charlie.
Re: Custom Cam Grind off of G5X2... Any cam of that size requires tuning to get the most from it. 115 LSA will not turn that cam into a street friendly cam w/o tuning; not to mention that it will peak really high.

Re: Custom Cam Grind off of G5X2... call Lou (LGM) at 1-877-LGMOTOR and he'll answer all your questions about this grind and give you some suggestions as well. He might even grind it for you on a 115 but I wouldn't recommend it.

Re: Custom Cam Grind off of G5X2... Dont get me wrong guys, I know tuning will pull out the cams potential. My point was for a smoother idling cam, i.e. more sleeper. As far as tuning, well, most will pick up @10hp, the real benefit to tuning is the idle quality and AF ratio's, which is where you are getting your extra numbers from. I am looking at a cam that will pull @400hp w/ heads,( run mid 360'ish on stock heads, on a budget ya know) and wont kill an A4 until I get it tuned. But I just finished reading about the G5X2 in A4's....So, look like once $$$ is here I will be heading down to my trusty shop for order and install!
Look out Rex, There I go!!!

Re: Custom Cam Grind off of G5X2... Last I knew, Lou was planning on having a couple of the G5X2 cams ground on a 114 LSA for F/I applications... it would stand to reason that it WOULD idle a bit smoother, which would help out the A4 cars a bit. However, as it already sits, that cam makes peak power @6400 or so, and spreading out the lobes will move that up a bit... not something that I would be comfortable with on a stock bottom end.
Anyhow, as has already been suggested, give LG a shout (ask to speak to Lou or Louis) and I'm sure that they will be more than happy to provide you with what you're looking for.
