Default G5X3 people...how do you like your cam and what kind of power?

Just curious if you are happy with your choice and what kind of power are you getting out of it? Also, what mods do you have to get that power? Doing mine this winter and would like to hear about your impressions of the cam.

I have it but its not tuned yet. Its got a nice lope at idle. I havent revved the engine very high but I can feel it even out and want to start pulling at 3k. I havent taken it higher than that yet.

It'll get tuned on the 6th of Oct. Im hoping for 390-400 at the wheels

As soon as I can get my hands on some TEA stage 2 LS6 heads, I'll be putting mine in. I already have the cam.

I've got those same heads right now but I'm running a G5x2 without flycutting. The Patriots have 59cc welded chambers, so they achieve the smaller chambers w/o milling and thus no need to flycut.

The car still needs some fine tuning........not to mention its just a dyno number........

Also, I'm just going by a sheet that came with the car. Although the numbers are corrected, the tune was done in near 100 degrees and high humidity. Not exactly the best conditions for high numbers. I also don't know if the car was allowed to cool before these final numbers.

Either way, I've got some AFR 205's milled to 59cc that will be going on next week.

I made 446/400 2 years ago on an unported fast 90 with unported LS2TB. with. ported 241 heads. Car drives great, pulls hard on top. Good enough for a daily driver in my opinion... I have..

I'm thinking about sticking the same cam (since I have it) in my new motor when it's done. Forged 347 w/ 11.8:1... Still undecided on the cam/heads though...

whats the deal on not releasing the info on their website? Sounds like a good cam but don't hear alot about it. Impressive numbers to say the least


Quick Reply: G5X3 people...how do you like your cam and what kind of power?
