G5X2 232/240 595/608 112


That is a long duration and very high lift.
If you going with that high of a lift, a shorter duration and XE-R lobs

something like a TSP Magic Stick 3
at 237/242 603/609 112

Those don't look like .050 numbers to me. Can you get the .050 numbers and then we can help.

228/232 is close to a G5X1 I believe....I have a 228/232 and I've been able to get a smooth 750 rpm idle out of it (bumped it back up due to charging issues with underdrive pulley) and still tons of torque and hp across the board. That cam won't make the BIG peak hp that a G5X3 (or TSP MS3) does, but it will have more torque down low where you spend most of your time driving. I still get >30mpg on the highway too.
