Default stock times good, cam better help

I sure hope the ms3 helps my car. I ran it last week at the local 1/8 and it went 1.60 sixty and 7.501 at 92.456 mph. I hope to achieve lower numbers with my tune and cam. I am suposed to pick it up later tonight. I have a underdrive pulley, lid, hooker LTs, 350 turbo, PTC 3500 , moser 12 with 3.73. In an 02 with stock tune. Best 1/4 on motor 11.89 and on nitrous 10.88. So this cam and tune needs to help or I will be very upset

Might want a higher stall speed for the MS3. 3500 is a little low.

yeah, right now while launching it flashes about 4100 and I think I am gonna pull it and have it loosened up. Thats what I am planing on doing later. I just spent a ton on cam, push rods, springs, chain and frame ties. Also bought some bullets.

3500 should be ok since you're spraying. If you go bigger, make sure you mention to whoever's going to restall it that you're spraying. If by any chance you have a TCI, talke to Kevin Winstead, he hooked me up with a 4k stall set up for the hose.

I just got my car back and it runs great with the ms3. The stall that I have works fine. The tune I have came from the guys at TSP and they told me that it would work. I drove my car home tonight and man does it sound good through those duals. Some surges ocur but they fix themselves. My hats off to those guys at TSP. Cant really tell you how it pulls, but I stabed it once and shifted at 6000 and man it pulled hard.

The 3500 will work fine with the MS3, but won't be maximized. I pulled nearly identical 60's after the MS3 went in (compared to stock cam) because the stall speed (3500) was keeping the cam from hitting it's powerband in time coming off the line. Upping it to 4,000 rpm dropped a tenth from the 60'.

Try it at the track before you pull the convertor.
