I'd get the MS4, I bought the 233/239 .598/.603 113 LSA TSP cam a month ago and I wish I would have gotten the MS4. My car idles around 800-850 rpms and I love the way it sounds. But if you like a real muscle car sound then just get the 112 LSA. Everyone on the street will tell you it sounds bad ***, and you'll think so too!

wait and look around in the multimedia section for sound clips/vids, and look around the dyno section for difference in power. Of course if you don't want to wait you could just call or PM one of the guys from TSP.

112 or less depending on the size you choose. It will geive you better under the curve power and will peak sooner than a cam of equal size. A good tuner will make it purr. I run a 230-236 112 XE-R cam in my "gentleman's cruiser" and it's great. I drive in rush hour traffic with an M6 with no problems.

does an MS4 on a 112 require flycutting on terminator heads?
i have the ms3, not installed yet, figured i might want to go with the MS4 instead..

The MS3 should clear with Terminators as long as you run a stock gasket, but the MS4 is going to require flycutting.

BTW, I would go with the MS4 on a 111LSA. It should give you little more power down low and should thump pretty hard as well.

Shaving material off the pistons to give the valves extra room.
