G5X2 vs. T-rex

[WildBill WS6/SS]

Whats the lowdown on these?

[jrp]

both big fucking cams and make great power.

232/240 .595/609 112/114 vs 242/248 .608/.612 110

what are your goals for the car, to me both are more geared for the strip and you'll need full bolt on, stout vavle train, and a good tune to get the best out of them.

is this car your daily driver or just a toy?:)

[WildBill WS6/SS]

Its my daily driver but I LOVE to go fast at the strip. :D

well, i drive it most of the time but I dont drive it in the rain

[bRa_DeN]

i would say the g5x2 has been done and most are satisfied with it, the only knock on the t-rex is the piston clearance that is ever so tight and the fact that it is a new cam that hasnt been run by many yet:)

aggreed :).

keep in mind you dont need huge cams to go fast, its all about putting together the right setup :drive:

and are you m6 or a4.

m6

[bRa_DeN]

you might hold off for a month or so and see what the feedback on the t-rex ends up too be! both will work equally well in an m6 and you should see close to the same #'s with either the t-rex might have more power but it is a bigger cam slightly:)

[bRa_DeN]

either way i am gonna suggest a good set of dual springs;)

[jrp]

what are your other mods since sigs arent working 100% yet.

Longtubes, oryp, lid, slp loudmouth, tr 224 224. 568 112. tuning. I make 380 right now with no ls6 intake, tb, or pully

[bRa_DeN]

380 with that setup is very impressive, if it was my car you might just think about a good set of heads?;)

very nice :). i could see you at 400rwhp with the intake, tb, and pulley.

have you considered any of the FMS cams, fm11 and fm13?

[bRa_DeN]

where do you get the fms cams at, what website?;)

what are there specs and why are they good?

[bRa_DeN]

i am hoping to get around 400 hp with my tr224 112 i also have lt's, ls6 intake, tb and few other bolt-ons:D

you have ls6, tb, and pully right now with the tr224? what power are you making? You should be close to 400

[bRa_DeN]

havent been tuned yet hopefully in 2 weeks i will:D and i dont have a pulley yet

fm10: 228"/228" .581"/.581" 112/114 lsa and either 0,2,4* advance ground in.

fm11: 228"/230" .581"/.591" 112/114lsa and either 0,2,4* advance ground in.

fm13: 230"/232" .591"/.585" 112/114lsa and either 0,2,4* advance ground in.

i've never seen any other cams put down as much usable power under the curve the FMS.

[WildBill WS6/SS]

i have never heard of FMS

[bRa_DeN]

i second that opinon:(

pm sent :D, maybe you can send what i said to bRa_DeN as well.

[bRa_DeN]

please send me the goods wildbill, thanks:)

Futral Motorspors (FMS) has a car in Hot Rod this month. (Fastest M6 LS1 car).;)

I am going for 400 RWHP with the TSP 231/237 cam. (.598, .595) 112

On stock heads, lid, LTs, TB, pulley, and cutout. We shall see!!!

the tsp231 definately has 400rwhp potential w/ an m6.

[da zman]

T-REX is the new light of the ls1..... ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

[JSTAZ28]

Like one of the other guys said, get some good dual springs for any one of these cams! I went with crane. I haven't heard much about the t-rex but i like my X-2.

[Blacker]

After looking at the FMS cams, I might have to sell my brand new TR224:D

What would be the benifit of having advanced ground in?

[Blacker]

To give more low end torque. The average torque is higher through the entire rpm band with advance ground into the cam.

[Got Me SOM]

these cams are getting bigger and bigger and pushing the limits of piston to valve clearance. Plus who wants to make peak power at ovr 7,000 rpms? These are max effort /pretty much a drag race setup cam, not really for daily drivers, although some guys claim to drive em on the street. Anything that requires flycutting to make your you have valve clearance doesn't make me comfortable. Bigger sticks aren't always better, unless you're all about bragging that you have a big cam.

[Sally 5.0!]

Any times ran with this FM5 cam?
