OK well after some homework and some ideas on here, These are the two choices for cams, They both seem like good cams, I want 11"s on Na and close to 400hp at the wheels, With the cam a ls6 intake and headers are going on, Will the magic stick be alittle big? I don't wanna change stock heads, The price seems fair on both of these and I will not go cheap on the springs and a good tune, What spring kits do you all recomend for each of these cams? Thanks for all the help last times guys hoply you'll all be able to help me make up my mind once and for all. And I will be spraying, So which one of these will handle spray better, I only spray once in a great while at the track, maybe a run or two.

Either cam is great and good for spray. Patriot Gold, PRC or Comp 921 duals.
What stall? 400 on an A4 is optimistic, but you'll ET great.

I have a 3500 tci stall, ok yeah i figured i wouldn't get that hp but either way Which would work best with my mods, plus the intake and headers and of course a good tune

SouthFL.02.SS

232"/240" .595"/.608" 112 LSA vs. 237"/242" .603"/.609" 113 LSA


Either cam will do you good. Maybe some of the A4 guys could chime in with an opinion to match your stall.

I like my my MS3, it's extremly street friendly even with a mailorder tune. I couldn't be happier with it. With a 150 shot in full street trim the car runs consistant 10.60s through a 2.5" dual exhaust. It runs a hell of alot better on a 225 shot though.

Should work good with your converter, I run a 3,500 stall with a 2.5 str.

But you're spraying, how does the car do off the bottle? I think 3500 is a little on the small side for the MS3.

I have no idea what it runs off the bottle. But the poster already has a 3,500 stall and is going to be spraying at the track. I think he should keep it. N/A only would probrably go 4000-4400.

formulajunky

Yeah i'll be sparying I mean I want the best of both in away, I love my 3500 It kicks ***, great on the street and bottle, So maybe the x2 is the better choice

My bad, I missed that you will be spraying as well. You'll be happy either way you go.

3500 isn't enough converter for the MS3. I installed my MS3 with a TCI SSF3500 and ended up restalling to 4k, it is much happier now. After the MS3 my 60's were almost exactly the same as before, in fact. When I added an LS6 intake, UD pulley and restall the 60' dropped by a full tenth.

If you plan to stick with the 3500 I think the G5X2 would be a better match.

Yeah I would get a 4000 stall for them cams, or g5x1 would be another good option.. I know pepole in the 11's with a 224 cams no need to over do it imho...

i think the x3 would be more comparable than the x2. your looking for track times, not numbers right?? other cams produce the same amount of power with more drivability and less overlap than those cams. I cant personally vouch for either or since ive never driven either, but the g2 cams love spray as most have noticed with the x3. there are so many cams out there and they're all great choices! Both TSP and Louis have great customer service!!!! You cant go wrong with either, but id consider the x3 over the x2 imho.

MS3 makes some crazy numbers on the spray.

formulajunky

Well the magic stick sounds great..... not sure if i will also have the funds to upgrade my stall, I"ll look into all of it thanks guys

Id go with the x2 cam since youre keeping the ls6 intake. The magic cam loves the fast intake. In a cam only z06 vette with fast intake it made 450rwhp.

formulajunky

Yeah the ls6 intake meets my funds alot better and does the job well IMO, i'm still trying to make up my mind about the cam, I'm getting there really leaning toward the magic stick though

Try TSP's 242/248 .625 w/115 LSA, fits stock dimensions.

Getting the magic cam aint a bad idea. You can always upgrade the intake pretty easily.

The MS3 and LS6 intake will work just fine together.

I installed my MS3 while still running the LS1 intake, stock pulley. Through a 3500 stall converter it put out 343 rwhp. Adding an LS6 intake and SLP UD pulley, plus raising the stall speed (less efficient) to 4k it made the current 385 rwhp.

I'd say the LS6 intake will work just fine.
