If for street I would reconsider running such a cam. What other mods do you have.

ya that ms4 is a turd on the low end you'll need some gears to make it run right. I would probably do a 228 or something a little bigger. Depending on your mods

Depending on your application. I wouldn't go any bigger than the TSP v2 or v3, especially with stock heads. Do you have any other supporting mods?

the biggest cam is not always the fastest car.you need a big stall for that cam.it will lower your dynamic compression ratio .how many miles on the engine ?what intake and exhaust do you plan on using.
