Your options are a bit limited if you are not wanting to replace springs. We offer a budget friendly package that utilizes a single beehive spring, camshaft, and chromoly pushrods for right at 599.99. What exactly are you looking to get out of the car, and what is its primary use?

Im still not to sure lol.. I mean im already kinda beefed up a little i think i might go with the ms4 how streetable is it?. Im getting the,ls7 lifters i have harden trick flow pushrods.. Do you guys sell,the cam and springs as a set

Sales1@Texas-speed

We sell a package that includes the camshaft, springs, and chromoly pushrods. If drivability is a main concern or if the car is going to spend most of its life on the street then in my opinion we have some better options for you. The MS3 and MS4 both are great choices for max effort cars with the correct mods to support them, so its really going to come down to what your looking for out of the setup. I have some customers that daily drive the MS3 and MS4 and love the way they drive, but then again you will get customers with 220 duration cams that claim they are too big. So in other words it really comes down to personal opinion.

Since I am not trying to sell you anything, I am going to say it like it is. If you don't have the extra money to buy valve springs you should NOT be modifying your car. Almost always a build ends up costing about 2x what you expect it to, and if you can't afford to do a cam setup correctly, let alone have some spare change around for a tune and all the extras that add up fast, you are better off staying stock.

Not trying to be a dick man, but I have seen MANY people end up in very bad situations because of trying stuff like this.

Yea its kinda to late to stay stock... But i was seeing if i could get away with it ill just have to wait an extra 2 weeks to get cam and springs... How much for the kit with pushrods its not gonna be a daily more like,my weekend driver... With the mods listed above with ms4 cam how,many pony power you think i might be push

Go with a smaller cam, like a torquer 2 or something. You won't want to have to spin to the moon without rod bolts.

Sales1@Texas-speed

We offer this camshaft in our dual spring package for right at 779.99. This includes the camshaft of your choice, dual springs, and chromoly pushrods. There are too many variables to give you a number that your specific car will make on someones dyno, but I can tell you with our MS4 we typically see gains of 65+ rwhp. Keep in mind this is a max effort camshaft.

Sales1@Texas-speed

the 233/239 is right in the middle. its a nice cam and pulls hard. only time i have surge is in 1st gear in parking lot under 1500rpm

Sales1@Texas-speed

^Agreed the 233/239 camshaft is pretty aggressive camshaft but still retains nice drivabilitly with a proper tune along with a nice broad range of power. Plenty of customers out there going pretty quick with this cam. I recommend with our PRC .650 dual spring kit for this cam which is priced a little bit cheaper than the package we spoke about for the MS4. This package is priced at 729.99.

hotrodth

cant wait to get my prc 5.3 heads straightened out to see how they turn on the cam. bumping up cr and flow rates....should be a blast

Sales1@Texas-speed

It should make for a very solid combination for sure!

Ok so the 233/239 is the torquer?? I like the numbers of the ms4 thanks Aaron ill just wait for my springs and call you when im ready thanks

Sales1@Texas-speed

No the Torquer V2 is a bit more mild than the 233/239. Sounds good give me a call when your ready!

hotrodth

dont get hung up on the big numbers the cams make. these are MAX effort cams like stated above. you need a nice cam that produces under the curve. the ms cams are very big cams. a 228r or 233/239 on a 112* will thump hard and perform great. there are a lot of guys out there that have smaller cams making more power and going faster than the big cam guys. thing is that big cams dont work all that great with stock heads and intakes. it take all the supporting mods to get full advantage of the big cams. and if you dont have the funds to buy springs then im sure the other mods will be much harder to buy. also keep in mind that with a bigger cam you will have to replace springs every 15-20k miles.
