Just trowing this out there. The G6X3 needs a great tune to run right (DD duty) and the G6X4 is even larger. Bigger is not always better with LS3 cams. The G6X3 is a proven performer, why not grab that?

If you need more power than the G6X3, just do heads or 408/416/427 etc

If you go too big you are running a risk of hurting your DD..And also a risk of killing your bottom end..The g6x3 is a great cam choice i have seen it in action on the street and at the track..You won't be disappointed with it..

I went on the LG site, but could not find any cam specs. Are they listed on the site?

Very few vendors post LS3 specs. I am pretty sure it's around high 23x/23x/61x/61x/111 BUT I could be wrong.

I am considering it as well as Cartex's 3X and Spins LS3 cam.
