Yeah but i had to raise a lot of hell....I actually talked to Lou himself and he refunded it, he was cool but everyone else there were ******** to deal with...My "then shop" told me if i missed a shift with that cam it would blow my engine to hell....It sucks bc i really heard good things from lg and really wanted them to do a build on one of my vettes...But it worked out great bc i found a home shop....VENGEANCE RACING....However i do run an lgx4 cam in my ls7 z06 and it is a pretty bad *** cam all the way around...

wah wah wah, grow up and build your motor the right way next time, i have a similar set up, yea, you need to fly cut, scraping your build because you dont want to flycut?? seems very stupid and rash of you to do.

did you even check ptv? you realize you bought a very good cam, thats why you paid what you did, why make such a huge investment and skimp on the stuff thats actually important.

The LG cam you have is extremely close on the P/V clearance. I've seen it as close as .020". I'm sure alot of cars have custom valve reliefs now.

wow.... is your junk *** ls3 still for sale? lol...

and just because you are buying an ls7 doesnt mean we wont see you posting back in here in 2 months asking what happened to a ls7 in a 98????? if you dont want to check PTV clearance thats a risk you take in ANY ENGINE. No need to be an *** to someone about it who pointed out what you did wrong(though he could have phrased it better so whatever), and no reason to call ls3's junk *** motors.. A huge cam like everyone knows the g6x3 is should always be checked, no matter how may people on the internet say it fits.

first the reason i said junk because the guy was a smart ***!! do you think i want this headache. why would i take a brand new motor with no miles all apart. they told me when i called i did not need to check ****, so i did not check ****. how about you spend all this money and hard work and it ***** up and someone says "wah wah wah, grow up and build your motor the right way next time" and tell me how you feel!
