I believe they also have a 5. There not the same as say the G5X3, they call them G7X.. Most of the higher cams can not be purchased as a cam only but also require the ported heads.

no matter what cam you go with, be sure to upgrade your springs,retainers,and pushrods, cheap insurance. Bobby @ LG is a great help in choosing a cam to fit your needs, call him up.

Our C6Z06 camshaft has a great sounding idle, is extremely driveable and makes excellent power. If you have any questions I will be glad to help!

For what you want to do, G7x4 would be the way to go In my opinion. Let me know if you have any specific Qs regarding the package

On the order of 40-60, if not more depending on the cam size. The C6Z cams are pretty good from the factory. The lobes are not too shabby, so picking up power over a cam that already makes 500 rwhp is good
