Do you know your base circle size on the G5 X2?

On my F13 it was 1.450 in 1.460 ex according to the cam card. So with help from one of the well know posters at LS1tech this is how it came out.

difference between the FM13 and stock is:
minimum .10
Take 1/2 of that as effective radius and you got .050
.050-.012= .038
Which means you should run .038 longer p-rods.
Since increaments come in .025 and stock is 7.40, then the best length while not going over will be 7.425
That should be the length to run 7.425

The math above is not mine but looks sound.
