Yeah, I know. Just wanted to hear some numbers thrown around. I'm thinking about doing the swap.

SNAXS, yours is on a 114 right? I wants me all the lope available... 112 baby! Thanks anyhow.

SouthFL, LSA isn't the only factor that determines lope; it's duration and ramp rates also. Isn't the X1 like a 230/227? It's probably gonna lope pretty damn good even on a 114 LSA.

maybe 5 hp.

Ive had both, but in different engines, so I cant say, but I dont see a whole lot of power. Cam swaps are pretty easy though, so if you have the spare change, why not try?

Make sure to tell us the results

Actually the X1 idles SOOOOO very mild it's unbeleivable...I have mine on a 112 in an A4 and you wouldn't think it was bigger than a 222/222....it has such a tame idle...it is definatly NOT A CAM FOR INTIMADATION at idle....noone ever thinks my cam is a 230/227 .591/.571 112 cam cause of the idle.

If you want to intimidate at idle..get a hotcam or a G5X2...those will intimidate at idle.

Now on a positive note...on a 100,000 mile bottom end I made over 420rwhp w/MTI Stage 2 heads and X1 cam with LS6 intake so the cam DOES make power.

I'm interested too. Been thinking of replacing my C1 with the LG G5X2 when I get my formula running again.

By the looks of it your pushing pretty good numbers with the C1 cam "389/378"
With a C1 and a similiar setup including the crappy SLP LT's I dynoed 35x/38x without my ported TB and ASP pulley. I have been pondering the idea of upgrading to a G5X2 I was going to go with an X1 to stay with the 918's but now that I acquired a set of Rev duals I believe I will be giving Lou a call on Monday.

I intend to stay with the 918's I have until they run their course (I have about 2500 miles on them). I would also be weary of running a G5X2 on them.
So, I woulda figured the X1 to be more aggressive audibly. Hmmm.
Josey, nice numbers!

I love the X1 on 112 lobe. You can see in my set-up safely tuned for spray what I pulled. This is with 12-bolt and all. Jayson at MTI tuned her so well. As for sound, you can hear the lope on mine! I get a ton of people asking what the heck I`ve got. She sounds sweet. Granted I run off-road pipes and corsa! There have been a few hear the back-end of my Bird!!!! I have the dyno sheet if you would like to see. Just give me your E-mail address so I can send. My timing is alittle low and I run rich! Still pulled sweet numbers! I say DO IT!!!!!!
