Default MS3 questions

well ive found a couple MS3 cams for sale and just had a few questions before i buy them

1. Would this be ideal for a weekend car that sees half city/half hwy miles and a couple 4 hours trips a year? I'm wanting somethin that sounds nasty but dont wanna have somethin that's not very driveable in traffic or high maintainence (sp). I know you hafta give a little driveablity when goin this big, but just how driveable is this? It will be tuned.

2. How much will this affect my hwy gas mileage with stock gearing.

3. What length pushrods should be used (stock heads). only thing im swapping is cam springs and rods.

4. Will Comp 918 springs work....if not, what should i go with?

thanks in advance and sorry for the questions but with search being down its kind hard finding this stuff.

1. that cam would do fine, I have it in my auto, just make sure you have a good tune, as for traffic I don't have a problem
2. it didn't affect my mileage that much and I have 3.23 gears
3. just get stock length rods, they are 7.4
4. 918's will not work you have to have dual springs, get PRC, or Patiot Performance dual vavlesprings
