I am thinking about getting a MS4 cam from Texas Speed and wondering what kind of gass mileage and performance i will be looking at with it. I have an M6.

Depends a lot on your driving habit. Expect a considerable hit. Whatever you're getting now, subtract 4-5 mpg and that's about what I'd expect. Also, consider you're going to have to add a lot more throttle to get the car into its powerband with an MS4, so consider a massive hit in city driving mpg's. This would be better posted in the internal section so people with the cam will see it and reply.

I've got the MS3, tuned by TSP linked to a m6 and I get about 12-14 mpg. Mine not a dd though. Mainly a weekend toy that I thrash on.

with asa cam and ported heads i get about 11-13mpg. when i had just LT, ory, and lid i got 30mpg hwy. i say if u want HP and not poor mpg, get nitrous!

as choco stated, alot of its gonna be the fact that your gonna have to rev higher to get it moving. that alone hurt me pretty bad because i added the stall and gears too. its also gonna be a pyschological thing were for some odd reason you are going to want ot go faster.

is the car a daily driver? because if so, you're going to want to do one of a few things:
1. consider a smaller cam to minimize the hit, 228r or tr230 are two that i like that wont suck so much in gas, and are MUCH more street freindly than MS series
2. get N2O so its a horsepower-on-demand situation, youll have stock driveability and fuel mileage 95% of the time, but keep in mind this can mean upgrading your pump and injectors to prevent against a lean situation.
or my personal choice
3. suck it up, be a man, and realize that you are modifying a 5.7liter engine and its going to cost you

LOL, I find gas mileage/cam, and gear threads hysterical. We all bought fast american iron, not a toyota prius..MOD and enjoy!

yah but it would be cool to have a noticable cam and still get better milage than some V6s

I only took a 2 mpg hit with my cam install in the city. My highway numbers are still in the 28 mpg range. But I do not have a huge cam I have EPP's blow cam and a D1 procharger.

My cam (see sig) is not an MS4 but not small either. Driving normally, I get about 17 around town and mid 20s on the highway. I recorded 25.3 going from Dallas to Austin the other day. Of coarse that goes down if I'm romping on it.

Its amazing at how much difference staying under 2-3k rpms does for the gas mileage....but who does that?

yeah i get raped on that bout 11-12 mpg, but then again it does get a little kickdown now and again....having that much power is hard not to use
