First off....Holy shizzzzat sweet hemi
I found stevedm's original post to be completely in line with the conversation and since all opinions are welcome here...the lecture was not really necessary. I myself WOULD put a X3 in my car but would NEVER tell someone else my opinion mattered more than theirs.
What is funny is the crack about driving an old camaro and the guy shows you a pic of a car worth many hundred thousand of $$ and is probably faster (1/4 mile) than many of our cars.
"G5X3 AT the MINIMUM" is just a rediculous statement. There are hundreds of cams for many different applications and this statement just makes you look pushy. 95JERSY there was no reason to write some of the comments you did.

No stock dyno handy, but I am sure there are several floating around here...

Couple things. I gave my opinion about an experience I just had which seemed relevent to the topic at hand....and did not ask you to lecture me about your opinion....your statement " You own the wrong type of vehicle and should buy a truck or some old muscle car". I'm not sure why you picked my post to show your ******* personality but wether my opinion was right or wrong there is no reason to talk to any other member of this forum like that. I do have a truck and an entire collection of muscle cars.
And about what i drive and how I drive it... is not a big block Camaro..but it is "some old muscle car"...
in case the hood scoop is not readable...it reads HEMI. (the pic is of my dad when he was about my same age) If you know anything about cars you'll know this is a very special car.

It's cool, don't take personal offense to my comments...I mean were talking about cars. So no lectures, just take from my post what is valuable and laugh at the rest. I exaggerated to generate some bullish humor.
cool car

Hey Brain, how ya been? Ive finally gotten a chance to tear into my new toy and have been eyeing that G5X2 but on a 112LSA. Whyd you decide to go with the 114? Any real performance difference? Ive been following the install on one of the other sites....looks like its goin well. Take care
112 will make for a choppier idle and make the powerband move down in the rpm range a few hundred rpms. I chose 114 b/c I wanted the car to be more drivable and easier to tune. I'm road racing the car when racing, so it lives above 3000 rpms all the time.
