Looks really close to the G5X2. It should work fine with your current mods with room to grow into ported heads in the future.

I am not sure you need such separation exhaust to intake unless you are going to run nitrous, but I like the big cam. I think the MTI R1 232/236 would have worked too.

Nope, the G5X1 is a 229/232 cam I believe or somewhere abouts there..... doesn't have as much seperation on the exhaust duration.
