are you serious, they are exactly different from eachother. For a street cam and what you are after get the X1. Especially if you are gonna go cam only, great cam on the low end.

bro, ive been going in circles between those 2 cams. the X1 and MS3 are proven performers. yeah the ms3 is a bit more high end cam.. the reverse splits have been getting alot of attention lately. u cant go wrong with either, just like websy21 said for a street car go with the X1..but i want a damn beast.. so im looking at the MS3!!

With your stall and gears I think you would be better off going with the X1.

Yup. If you had a 4000+stall the MS3 would be OK.

Would the MS3 cam or the MS4 be good for a daily driver?

yes this would meet in the middle and be best of both worlds if you ask me, degree it +2 and enjoy

I daily drive my M6 MS3 cammed car. I live in a medium sized town so there's not a lot of bumper to bumper traffic. As for down low power, I put in some 4.10 gears to help out. I love this cam. It hits hard with decent overlap and pulls hard around 3.5K RPM.

I vote MS3, I had one in my car when it had the 346 and I loved it. I ran a best of 11.45 @ 119 with a 4400 stall and full boltons full weight. I wish that one had not have blown up, but it ran lean and burnt a piston on a low 10 pass....
