Default g5x3 or this cam?? need input

I like the specs of the g5x3 but i think it was designed for stock heads due to the 8 deg split between in/ex

the cam i had spec'd is a

110 +2 236/238 .615/605 xfi for the intake and xer for exh

I will run my pro mag 1.75's witch will net me .633/.623 lift

spec's look great but i am worried about the 110 lsa .

I am looking to make max power with what i have.

seem's like LG put's alot of g5x3's in with the afr's

I have stock bottom end,afr 205's milled to 59 cc's,.040 head gasket,1 3/4 lt's to 3"mid's no cat's or res to dual 3"flowmaster 40 series,k&n cai and lpe pump and a kenne bell boost a pump and will have the fast 90 and a NW 90mm tb before the engine is back in.

so please help me pick one.It is down to these 2 cam's.The car is a auto with a 3500 verter that may be restalled to a 4k.

best E/T is my goal for the 4000 pound gto.

thanks mike

I had AFR 205's and an X3 with a 90/90 setup 2 yrs ago and loved it. It was a 114 lsa on an auto with a 3800 stall. The setup seem to pull pretty well!

after all that. I have spent 2 months stressin over what cam.

I orderd it tonight from lpe.

a comp xer 287
238/240@.050 112lsa .605/.612 with my 1.75 pro mags should give me plenty of lift and with the 112 she should take to the spray well.

may not work but cam's are like girl friends.

You have to try a few of them before you find the right one.

so now it is up to the big brown truck to bring it.

me to set it up and get it tuned

and then run her the 1320

can't wait for spring
