Good deal! Be sure and get a baseline dyno and post up your results.

Street manners...yes the G5X3 is a bit more street friendly.

Anthony, thanks for chiming in to educate others as well.

Your G6X3 with trick flow heads is the Mac daddy combination indeed.

At a different dyno I did 409/405 Dynojet. Not to impressive. Will be around one month from now unless wife gives me funds. I am her slave.

My old C6 was real simple with the stock 2.56s

PFFFFFFF what?

1500$ for all the cam swap parts (basic is CAM/Pushrods/Springs) LABOR and tune?

I guess people like working for pennies on the dollar.....

I wouldn't trust that at all. No one who respects them self as a tech will work for that cheap I think. When I did C6 cam swaps on the side when I wasn't tuning I was charging 1000$ just for labor and tuning.

Very helpful info. I think I may go with LG when the time is right for a cam.
