BTW if you're wondering where I pulled the numbers from, I looked on the LG site under "Results" and found a setup near identical to yours

I think you're underestimating the G5X3 cam, it's not a small cam.

My guess is 430rwhp/400rwtq SAE with the stock intake. With a FAST, 450+rwhp/410+rwtq SAE.

What were your "before" numbers? I'd guess 60 to 75 over those numbers with your mods. Hope you get what you're after. Anything else is gravy! UMMMM.....

Agree with Ranger 498, stock 340-350 plus 75 for the mods. Ported heads or a fast 92 will get you 450 and both will get you 475-480. How big is this cam?

I have a 232/232 .595 114 lsa Comp. cam, Kooks LTH, catted x-pipe, Corsa Sports, Halltech Stinger intake, dyno tuned and got 450/405. I asked on the cam size so as to give you a better estimate of you rwhp with those mods. I've also added 390 gears and I am a happy camper. Good luck with your mods.

When I did my cam research, the G5X3 from LG seemed to offer a good balance of power & agression Sounds violent enough that my neighbors are starting to nag me
