I dont think its too large at all, in fact its smaller than some of the other popular cams out right now (LGM G5X2). I will be installing mine in the next few weeks so I'll let you know how it goes. You should give MTI a call, they were very honest and up front about what works and what doesn't.

Mitch,

The X1 is smaller than the G5X-2 cam. Plenty of people running the G5X-2 on stock heads.

The X1 WILL work with your stock heads. Will make good power too :reddevil

Did you do any track runs with both . You may have given up something as in real time performance.

There were issues.
However, before dragging it all out here on the forum I think it best to give them an opportunity to make it right.
