Is the G6X-2 too aggressive for daily driving?
I also ordered an A6 so I'll have to look into my GMHTP mag.

I know this is irrelevant for most, but since I'm stuck with an A6 d/t my wife, I'm interested in this approach.
Interesting about LG though, they made over 500rwhp with a cam only LS3 (vette) an over 515 with mild ported heads and their G6X3 cam.
Do you have a link to the article on Cams you mention above. I too am looking at tweeking the L99 and would like ot leave the VVT in place.

Way too aggressive in my opinion,seen countless cams from him over the years with claimed hp numbers but poor EMMISSIONS and driveability.

Lg does not make headers for anything other than corvettes,They will not work on 2010 Camaro.

We have a wonderful daily driver cam on our site...click on the pic and youu will see a dynograph.Fantastic power,emmissions,driveability.

Andy,

will you have any cam setups for the L99 without removing the AFM or VVT? I know there are limitations with this setup, but its what those of us who ordered Autos have to contend with.
