Default lg g5x3
Looks like I'm getting this specific cam. Any advise on it? How much power should I expect. Car is 2002 zo6 blackwing intake, dynatech 1 3/4 headers, catlessx pipe, b&b prts. How choppy is the idle on a 114+4 lsa. I want an aggressive idle.
Anybody have some clips?

I have that cam. It's not that choppy. It does great on the street. I can start out in first with just letting out on the clutch and no gas. It pulls hard and long thru the rpm's. Second and thrid gear is crazy. No dyno pulls have been done while I have owned the car. I have TEA heads though so my numbers would not help you anyway. I have a sound clip,its not the greatest. Will see if I can find it.

If you go with the 112 lsa it's recommended to flycut the pistons. I have the 114 lsa with LG pro's, not cats and a ported FAST set-up and made 440/400. My idle is set at 900rpm and you can definitly tell it's cammed.

I have a opportunity to purchase a g5x4 cam too for a great price. Will I have to flycut with stock heads?

LG would be the best people to answer. You could always pm Anthony @ LGMotorsports on here.
