Default Want a bigger cam

I want a bigger cam, I have the G5X3 (not installed) before I install it I want to know if I can go bigger. It will be a cam only for a little while and then I will add intake and heads. Please give me some advice and opinions or some options. Thanks

You can always go bigger but I am not sure why you would want to. The X3 is a stout cam and should make you smile!

Ultimately, it is the package you put together that will really matter and what you want the package to do.

If you decided to go bigger, I may be interested in your x3! You could do the x4 or MS4!! Let me know.

I just installed a G5-X2 114... I love it. Lopes hard, but not so big that I can't dialy drive it.

You can go G5-X4, but it's on the ragged edge of p/v clearance.
