I don't rev mine past 6500, others (Z06) go higher.

Pretty sure with proper intake and exhaust the G5X3 is a 6500-6700rpm cam. Some people wind to 7k but that's a bit of over-rev in my opinion.

6700-7000rpm, depending on gear/transmission/intake/valve float.......

If you have the valve train to support it I'd spin that baby to 6,800 easy.

you WILL either get thee to a dyno tuner and have a REAL tune or you will never run right with a cam mod. That's "period"

You need to get the car tuned after the cam install, to truely maximize power gains.

I installed the G5X3 112 lsa cam recently and it will make power up to about 6800 rpm depending on your mods. I set my shift light at 6600 and rev limit at 6800. I flycut my pistons. Make sure your valve train will hold up and consider stronger rod bolts.

I bought the G5X3 on a 112 and was told that flycutting was not required with the stock heads.

Set rev limit at 7k
Shift at 6800 with a shift light, 66-6700 if you're watching the stock tach, which is known to lag a bit.
