search is your friend.




I have the Ms4 but currently having shop issues.. So I cant give you a real answer just yet.

I DID take it for a quick test ride with the new heads and 90 90 with the ms4.. untuned (well quick little hp tuning, nothing serious) and it was KICK ***!

I asked the same question a couple of weeks ago. I had plans to go with the MS4 or MS3 but decided to get the Texas Speed Torquer V.3.

The motor had to be reworked right after the install.

I only got to drive the car for a VERY limited amount of time with a REALLY shitty HP Tuner tune. It had GREAT GREAT power over my old FM13 but no numbers yet.

The car is NOT a daily driver nor do I think I would daily drive that big of a cam (personal preference though).

I've had it since late july, with stock heads and stock gears(M6) and I have been very pleased with it. I think the power increase was worth the what it cost. Over christmas break I'm going to put some Patriot heads and a 90/90 in it. I know this will really wkae the motor up and help unlock this cams real potential. Oh yah there some surging below 1800, when under a light load. but it will pull 6th gear at 1200 rpm no problem.
