Well is the car going to be mainly for the street or strip. I would recommend a 4000 or 4400. The lowest i would go is 3800. Hope this helps.

I have an ed curtis cam that is very similar in size to the MS3 and I am running a 3400 stall. No issues at all.

I would go 3600+ depending on gear, tire size, power adder, etc. I ran a little smaller cam on my very first combo with a 3800 stall speed converter and a 3.73 gear and it worked great... Especially on the nitrous!

i ran a 230/236 with over 600 lift both sides with a 3600 and 3.73 gears DD and it was a smooth ride, however 3600 wasnt enough for this cam so a ms3 or 4, all motor, i would definataly want a 4400.

3.73s are nice on the highway, 70 MPH with a 26 inch DR was about 2400 RPM. 80 was 2800, 90 was 3300ish
