Big cam? Let's hear it!
Please post your video of your C5 with a big cam. I am looking to install a cam or H/C package and want to hear them first. I am looking for good mid range power and that big lope! I want to stay n/a and also keep decent road manners, but it is not a daily driver. I already have a new exhaust system, headers, catback etc, as well as a twin cone intake. Suggestions?

And yes, it was a lot cheaper plus I did not want the complete package.
LG do not like anyone to publicly publish the specs on their G5X-3 & G5X-4 cams and I am not going to.
All I will say is my cam is "close" to a G5X-3 (but not exactly the same)
