want a different cam help
alright everyone, ive been debating going with a different setup since i pretty much got tired of the setup im running now. there are two cams im looking at.
one is the lg g5x3 with a 114 lsa and the other is the trick flow 238/242 .595/.595 112. ive searched around and i got some good info on the g5x3 but i cant find any info on the trick flow cam. which cam would you guys go with. btw, i drag race the car and i also road race the car every once in a while
btw, ill also be adding a set of prc stg 2.5 ls6 heads milled to 62cc

cams are too big for a road course.
LGs G5x2 or G5xE for a road course
Need a cam with great low end torque Not high RPM hp for a road course.
Remember corner exit speed determines top speed at the end of the straight.
I use a little 224/224 581/581 112+4 on a road course. Not huge HP numbers, but low 400 lb ft or torque at 3000 rpms does wonders coming out of corners.
Can chirp the tires in 3 gears too
Plus your in KALF and have to pass smog tests.
224/228 581/588 on a 113 my be as big as you can go and also pass smog in CALF

im running the MS4 239/242 .649/.610 with a 111 lsa. Cam works really well if you plan on keeping your revs in the higher region. There is some bucking a driveability issues low rpm, but in the top end im not sure if there is a cam that can compete. It all depends on what you are looking for. Road Courses, i would have to agree with au n egl the ms4 is to big of a cam, just as i would have to say the trick flow cam is to big for road course as well. If you plan on drag racing it would be just fine.
