Pushrod Length? G5X4
I am installing a G5X4 cam in my bolt-on c5. Engine is completely stock. If anyone has installed this cam, I would like to know what size pushrods you used? I've been calling LG all day leaving messages, staying on hold for 30 minutes.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Bigass cam. I hope you have a manual trans, or a big stall/gears. Also, make sure you have upgraded valvesprings, and make sure you check PTV clearance. New upgraded chain, too. I assume you have LTs already?

Should be 7.4's unless you mill the heads or run a different head gasket. Try e-mailing them. Like others stated, hope you know what you're getting into. The drivability is gonna be pretty poor with that cam.

Got everything I need. I disagree with the driveability being poor. Everyone has their own opinion as to what is poor. I have a very good tuner that has taken one of my friends car with a 249/257 .632/.652. Car drives great. He gave up some driveability, but in my opinion it is fine.

You will need to fly cut the pistons for proper PTV clearance. Not a big deal at all. You should measure the PR length to get it right. That cam will need the valve train set properly as the wipe pattern being off will chew up valve stems and rockers.
