Cam Choice! Help me decide guys! Alright guys, I am gonna be gettin a cam in about 3 weeks, but I am stuck on 3 and dont know which one I like better! I have a 2000 Camaro SS SLP Lid, LS6 Intake, TR6 plugs, Taylor wires, Pacesetter LT's & Y pipe, e-cutout, Magnaflow catback, 9' Rear with 3.90 gears, Built M6! I am stuck between the MS3, MS4 and the Si5 cam from Speed Inc., What do you think I should go with and the why?? Thanx for your time I appreciate it guys. Video's would even help to support your answer! BTW the car will be pretty much daily driven, and IO'm not worried about how big the MS4 is.. so ya let me know what I should do.. thanx again!
Also: Suspension will be ordered after the cam is done.. just another thing I thought I might add.

Hands down I would go with anything over an ms cam. I liek the sI5 and really like the SI5v2 If I were you I would do the SI5v2 and enjoy it ms cams make great power but its all up top, with NO bottom end or midrange. the SI cams will make a great power band.

Thanx for the input bro! And quickly I might add! I love the way the MS cams sound n they seem to make really good power, but Ya i guess I didn't know that most of it would be up top! I tried searching the Si5 v2 on YouTube and there's nothin! But ya, thanx again!

The cam I am going with is close to the sI5v2 but its not done yet. The ms cams do sound great, but you can get great sound with better power. to get a close sound, call lloyd elliot (or I am sure speed inc would grind you a custom cam as well) and set up like a 238-240 dur. and .595-.580 on a 113 cam. would get you a close sound and still provide a decent power band. Good luck in your cam selection.

Basically because of what people have said about them! And the power gains that I have seen people make with all 3! It doesn't have to be those 3 I'm up for somethin else if people wanna suggest somethin better for my setup! Got any suggestions Detoxx?

Heads are stock for now! Would be the 853's if I rem. correctly! Plans down the road are up in the air, always wanted to build a turbo LSx but I doubt it will happen! Other than suspension, prolly just heads n maybe a budget motor build!

I had originally thought about the FMS F13 112, but then decided against it for some reason! Then i started really looking at cams n really liked the MS3 and MS4, but thought they were just too big of a cam! I looked on TSP's website and saw the 231/237 so I did some research and people seem to get some good numbers out of them overall! Why do u recommend the F14 114 Detoxx?
