Default Cam advice

So i've been researching different setups on CF and also on LS1tech, and would like some additional opinions/advice for what im trying to accomplish.

The car is a 00 C5 6spd, LS6 intake, LG Long-tubes, full exhaust, vararam intake.

My goal is to achieve mid/high range power, and I've been looking into the G5X3 cams. I'll most likely stick with the stock heads for awhile.

All help is appreciated.


Matt

G5X3 is a good cam for what you are looking for. Our Whiplash cam is very similar and I have it in my car. Check my sig for a vid of what it sounds like. Either one of these cams will make stupid power above the 2400 RPM range. Hope this helps.

It is in the 240's but the rest is proprietary information.

LGM & ECS (just to name two name-brand shops) also have proprietary cam grinds.

I have installed many, many LGM & ECS cams in our customers' cars without knowing the exact specs of their respective cams.

You trust the Tuner, not the specs.
