ms4 is definately not to big for 408 ci. With the right tuning that cam could be perfectly streetable. I would go 4000 stall seems like everyone wishes they went a little bigger than they thought

What gear...? If you ever plan on sprayin consider the 3600.....That cam is kinda mild for those cubes and if it doesn't see much track time you might be happier with the better street manners of a 3600.... Either will work very nice though...

MS3/4 would be fine for a 408 that sees street time. Have you looked at the Texas Giant or others like the T-Rex, Vindicator, etc...?

The GTO is alot heavier than the F body and the big cams like T-rex and Giant dont accelerate good with the added weight. I have had 3 GTO's and tried almost all of them.

Very true, how much does your goat weigh in at?

3.46




As far as weight my 06 A4 with trunk gutted and 5 gal of fuel in the tank weighed in at 3,580lbs. Lighter equip. than stock includes full catless exhaust with stainless headers and a 9.5'' converter (instead of factory 12''). They are heavier but with a stall in the 4,000+ area big cams are tamed easier.



Quick Reply: what cam and stall do i need?
