G5x3 guys come in
G5x3 guys come in Looking at this cam for a winter swap. I want a bigger cam that will scream to 6.8k no problem. I don't want to give up low end however. My Tr230 pulls great from 2k up and I love it. If I had to wait until 3k I wouldn't mind, but I'm don't want to wait until 4k for the power to kick in.
I have a m6 with 4.10s. A buddy has the g5x3 in an auto, but I would like to hear from the manual guys.
Don't suggest the MS3, Ms4, or that stupid Polluter cam please.

lol, you could put that " stupid" polluter cam in and just call it a custom grind if the name is what you dont like. The cam will be a good one and seems to fit the bill for what you want. A buddie of mine is getting one this week.
Ok, I'll help you out. I have an 04 vette 6spd. I too have 4.10 rear gears. I also have the G5X3 112 LSA along with some CNC'd 243 heads @60cc and a 0.041 gasket.
The cam kicks in right at 3K and goes like crazy from there. It is not a dog down low but at the 3K mark it really starts to produce power and torque and pulls right up to 6.8K nonstop.
I am very happy with my cam choice. It has a nice lope and a good performance band - especially with the 4.10 gears.
Good luck with your mods.

Why not thoes cams? MS4 does the same thing basically the G5x3 does, but its all in the tune.
This is where you insert foot in mouth when and if the Polluter proves itself. Lots of people judge the cam because of the name...
Tick Performance will have two to three cars at the LSX shootout with the Polluter cam in it and they plan on having a stock bottom end, stock head car with the Polluter cam go into the 10s this winter.
Maybe you should wait until results are in...

I doubt the polluter will prove it self. Its just another copy cat donkey cam with dyno numbers. If I were to get a Donkey Dick cam it would be the Trex, no questions asked. I like to buy and reasearch cams that perform, not put up high dyno numbers.
G5x3 has proven itself over and over. locally here in MN and Nationally. I'm just wondering how it drives in an M6.

driven lots of vettes with G5X3s. Too much cam for 4.10s. You will spin those rear tires too much and not go forward.
easy to drive under 3000 rpms, rocket ship over. 4.10s maybe shifting too much and nor using your full power band.
Good but not great off the line or out of corners.
I prefer a smaller cam to use the full power band.

Setup in sig, and I had the g5x3 but Louis used my car as a test mule for version II. I like version II better. More lowend power, sooner, and more power everywhere. Version II of the g5x3 is a little bigger, but not as big as the g5x4.

Your cam is a 111+4 LSA just retard it to 111+0 LSA and enjoy it till 6700+
It is as simple as that.
i have the g5x4 in my T/A. All mods in my sig. Car seems to pull hard from ~3500rpms and up. The 4.10's do help make the car rip it to!
I know its not the same cam but i would assume the g5x3 should have its power in the 3K range.

No, lots are stupid and believe in it just because of advertising. I'm not saying it's a bad cam or a good cam. I'm saying fools fall for advertising without proof.
As should you.
I want a bigger cam to see how I like it. I can't leave my car alone for a winter.
I would like to try the g5x3. I have a buddy who runs it in his auto and runs good times. Out of the bigger cams I have been looking at, the g5x3 seems to one of the best in terms of all around power, not just the peak crap. Mark, what would the differences be with the g5x3 cam on a 110, 111, 112, 112+4 LSAs?

Well, the powerband will come on sooner the tighter the LSA, also advance plays a role.
Their 112 grind is what I would recommend, others are dangerously tight on PTV with anything that has bigger valves.
Speaking of, what size valves in your heads and are they milled?

I have ported 5.3s. 2.02 intake valves. Im going to fly cut and mill the heads to get the correct DCR for the cam.
How big of a peak power RPM between the 110 and the 112?

Not exactly sure of my LSA. I want to say its something a little different like 111.5 or 110.5* LG is pretty secretive about cam specs, even with me. LOL, but to be completely honest I really don't know any my specs exactly. Its a bit bigger then the g5x3 and bit smaller then the g5x4
