g6x3 cam question LS3
Hey guys...just doing my research. On the LS3, i want to do a cam down the road. Can anybody tell me how bad the driveability is of the g6x3 cam from LG? It sounds awesome and i definitely dont expect stock like driveability i just am curious how bad it will "buck" in town out of stoplights and so on. And if you are rolling and just throw it in neutral if the rpm's will fall really far and cause the car to want to shut off, etc...Thanks!!!

Don't hesitate to call LG, I have heard/read so may positive post about them and from them that I would be very comfortable talking with them about any of their products. I truly feel they would share accurate information and expectations with you as they have tons of data points, potentially with your exact setup.

good cam
have the same cam in my car, never stalls or surges, its all on ur tuner... my tuner installed mine and tuned, runs excellent man, have my rpm idle at 825 to 850, had a nice shake at the light, with long tubes and a good catback, sounds like a beast... go with the 112 lsa, if ur bold enough, go 111 like i did... i love it, wouldnt trade it for any other cam... kicks it strong at 3k, pulls to 6600 strong, would pull to 7k with ported heads...

A lot of it is in the tune....but yes it is a big cam.
We like to have them idle around 950-1025 RPM.
It is going to have a bit of surge at low speeds and it is happiest above 1500 RPM.
Power range is 3000-7000 RPM.
If you have any questions, we are always happy to help!

Thanks so much for the help everyone! i will probably go with that cam because it sounds great and i know LG is top notch. Everyone at LG is really helpful and they dont mind answering any of my questions even if they may be simple dumb questions they never treat me like im wasting their time and i really appreciate that!

Again, it is a fairly big cam, but as long as you don't expect it to drive like stock, you will love it.

Regarding rolling and throwing it into neutral, if it is not freezing outside and you're not running too rich, it shouldn't shut off on you (pending a good tune).
Hope this helps, feel free to PM me, I've been DD'ing that cam for a while.
