Default MS3 PTV question

I am looking into getting the MS3 (237/242 .603/.609 112lsa) and wondered if the PTV clearance will be ok with stock heads?

I just noticed you have 4.10's, that was my next comment is you will need a solid gear to get in the power band, kinda bogs down low until 3000rpms but it is well worth it up top.

yep, both of my cars are DD's just make sure you get a really good tune, still have little bucking and surging but it is minimal.

Kooks LT's with Y-pipe no cats, LS6 intake, P&P TB, lid, billet maf ends, ZO6 maf, TR55 plugs, MSD wires, 160 stat, 3" elec. cut-out, smooth bellows, coolant bypass mod, 3400 fuddle stall and a few others just can't think of them now. It only made like 390 on the first few pulls but I had an awesome tuner

As mentioned, you'll be fine for p-to-v clearance with our MS3 and stock cylinder heads. We can also build our PRC stage 2.5 heads to clear with our MS3 camshaft, but you must specify this when ordering the cylinder heads. We'll sink the valves deeper to provide you with right at the same valve drop as a factory cylinder head. This allows for right at stock p-to-v clearance numbers, even with the larger valves.

Feel free to e-mail me at trevor@texas-speed.com or PM me with any questions or concerns.

Thanks!

Would this cam work well with a A4 running 3.73's and a 3600 stall?

I would say yes as long as you have all the other supporting mods. I have the MS4 with 3500 stall and stock 3.23 gears. Ran 12.0@114 on street tires with 1.8 60'. 3.73 gears and sticky tires would wake up my car even more!

Edit: just saw your sig.....you're car would run very well with that cam. You could also use a bigger stall with the slicks and get even more outta of it.

there is a possibility you will run into ptv clearance issues kyle. the ms3 was originally offered on a 113. It seems to fit on a 112 but there is a possibility if you miss a shift or sumthing, your valves may be kissing your pistons. id do a search on it, heres one link

You will not run into any PTV clearance issues with the MS3 on a 112 LSA. We have installed and dyno tested that set up numerous times. You should be really happy with that set up if you choose the cam, I've got that cam in my car and could not be happier!
