Default MS3 works well !!!

Just thought I would post up and give a report onn how my cam swap was going. I was suposed to go to the track today but mother nature didnt permit it. Anyways last night me and a few of my friends got out riding around in our hot rods and one of my friends has a s10 with a built 406 in it. Before I installed the cam we raced and he started pulling me in 2nd gear slightly. His truck runs 7.30s in the 1/8 where my car ran 7.50s. Last night we decided to race from a 2nd gear punch and MAN, I pulled him by about 2 lengths before letting out and then we raced from a slower 1st gear roll and that was worse. My hats off to the guys at TSP, this cam is awesome and driveability is good also.

Yeah its a big gain. With the old stock cam my car would just loose intrest in pulling at about 6200, but now its still pulling HARD when the rev limiter is near and thats at 6800. Awesome cam, I recomend to all cam only guys.

Very fun indeed. It likes it up near 7k!
My clutch decided to hold a little the other night and I almost lost it at the top of 2nd gear! Hadn't driven it hard in a while and forgot the way it pulled up high.

The guys at TSP told me that with my tune that I could shift it as close to 6800 as I can get without hitting the limiter and it wont hurt the bottom end, but I havent been to the track yet and for now I shift at 6400 but there is so much more there if I need it. As far as your tranny with n20, I went through 2 4L60e's because of n20 before the 350 turbo update and besides no speedometer I love it.

Mine is not a race weight, thats a misprint. That is the car weight without me in it.

well obrien, I think you will like the MS3. I didnt expect it to help my car that much, but man was I wrong. I cant wait till sunday when we get to go to the track. And I have had 3 street races since the cam install and so far the MS3 is 3 and 0.
