ok i had another post about a week ago but to keep it simple i thought i would just start this one that is straight to the point

i have narrowed down to 2 cams!!!
ms3
torquer v3

talked to tsp and they said the ms3 cam will not clear with the stage 2.5 ls6 heads
but will clear with the stage 2.5 5.3 heads
also would clear with the stage 1 ls6 heads

what would be a better set up?
the ms3 cam with the stage 1 ls6's or the stage 2.5 5.3l heads??????

or i could do the trq v3 cam with either heads......
between these 2 cams which ones do you guys like??
please give results and as much info as possible i really want to order a kit monday so it will be on the way

torquer v3 with stage 2.5 ls6 heads would get my vote.

also one other question i forgot is
which one of these cams is going to make the car faster down the track???
not near as concerned about peak hp as i am running 10s!

you have a m6 ,you get to go through the power curve 6 times.I would get the came that makes more torque.are you getting the TSP cam kit?

what gears do you have for the car and what is your race weight?

Don't count on 10's w/o putting the car on a serious diet or spray. Out of your choices TV3 and ls6 stage 2's.

4.10 gears
car is probly 3100 with me in it

getsum27

the car went 7.90s a couple weeks back in the 1/8th
still with a stock engine......if i remember correctly the 60' was high 1.8s or low 1.9s
i am confident with more seat time and better traction it will go 7.70s like it sits
my goal is to run high 6's in the 1/8th with the heads and cam and i am told that would be a 10 second pass

gonna get some 90/10s 4 front and take the sway bar off before i take it back also

Ahhhh. I didn't realize it was going in a Fox body. That will make it easier. Let us know how it does!!

2.5 5.3 with ms3. Just doenst make much power down low. I likes a big stall and gear orrrrrrrrrrrrr nitrous. a4/ls1 made 430/419 to 9 inch and ported ls6/tb. made 703/789 on a 300 shot/ stock bottom end a/f at 12.3 and 16 degreees of timing. love mine just wish it made more down low

getsum27

how does your ms3 drive on the street?
how bad is it down low?
what rpms does it start really pulling hard?
how does it do at the track? do you have any times?

Ws6kid.

i say ms3 with 5.3 l 2.5 heads?
ive also seen a guy on youtube with the 5.3 2.5's with the torquer v2 cam i think
sounded killer open headers

Dont want to get off topic, but i was wondering if the clerance issue was because its a fox body or some other circumstance or situation specifically for your build, or is it a generic problem? I was planning on going with pretty much the same H/C combo of the MS3 & 2.5 ls6 heads, but for my ls1. But i would go with 2.5 ls6 heads and a good cam that can compliment them.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat ?
I think his fog lights made a piston to valve clearance issue

Anyway, I would go MS3 & PRC LS6 if drivability is not in ur list

texas speed said the ms3 wouldnt clear the stage 2.5 ls6 heads

just flycutt your pistons and run the ms3 and 2.5 ls6
going to be you best bet
otherwise run the v3 and 2.5 ls6
its better to have a good head with a smaller cam then a bigger cam with a worse head

If it's all about the ET's for you, I'd go Stage 2.5 5.'s and the MS3! If the street manners are a bit of a concern, and you want nice ET's, then the Stage 2.5 LS6's and TorquerV3 would get my vote!
