Comming Up Mods
04' Zo6 with about 80k Miles on it i am saving up for a G5X3 Cam Package (LSA 114), Smaller Pulley, and Fast Intake 92mm and throttle body, i already have LT's and Vararam Cold Air. Does anyone have advice or useful information?? Its also a daily driver.

one thing I regret doing when I did my X3, I pulled the heads to do lifters also, I regrets not getting the heads atleast ported.
It can be daily driven, imo its right on the edge, what makes or break the car's is drivibility is when you a big cam combined it with an grabby clutch.
If I had the money i'll go little smaller on the cam, like a X1 or X2, an nice set of heads combined with the fast.

Define your power goals then you can pick your cam. I would pick your heads first then tailor your cam to that, and not the other way around (I think this is a mistake that many/most, including myself, make)

I just had an g5x4 cam installed by LGM. I very pleased with my cam, its a little extensive for a daily driver(its a weekend warrior though). But it pulls like a raped ape from 2900 rpm all the way to redline. I highly recommend LG's work, and customer service is top knotch.

Well im just lookin to pick up some more power but not to much to have to do heads, everyone tells me that the Zo6 heads are the best flowing heads that you can have with a pretty good cam, and Lgm are the guys i have decided to let do my work!!!

Just went to your website and looks like you have a nice market niche.
Since you sell Patriot, AFR and Trickflow perhaps you could enlighten us by posting an impartial dyno comparison with the same engine b/t the Patriot heads and it's comparable aftermarket alternative.

You're talking about a different cam. The one he is referring to is an LG cam, not a VR cam. The G5X3 is in the 240's duration and is very large for a daily driver.
