i'm sure there is nothing wrong with the custom Futral grind, but its hard to argue with the proven T-Rex. right now i'm wishing i would've went with the T-Rex instead of the MS-4 in my car.

All depends. Are you worried about money or power? If its money throw in the Trex since you already have it. If its power pop in the Futral grind.

I had a grind to go in my bigger motor (346 to 416) from the original motor and people told me it would of made good power but I decided I want the max potential of the motor I was building and I got a custom grind for my application.

You have proof that the custom grind makes better power than the Trex?

I agree on the money part. Go with the Trex since you already have it.

Id throw a TREX..But you did say you are wanting max hp cam only. So maybe a custom might be a better choice.
