I would do a more mild cam for a D/D. Maybe the tsp 228r on a 114lsa and then throw some no2 on it later to have some fun from time to time.

Agreed. You'll love the anytime power of a cam and the sound. Like said, stick to a smaller cam for a DD. Later on, add the nitrous.

id go with a WET nitrous system, that way you dont have to rely on your injectors to supply more fuel.

If it is a daily driver an MS4 would not be the greatest choice. Hit up that nitrous and call it a day.

Well ive got a ms3 sitting on my shop shelf ready to go into my new short block when it gets here, because nitrous sent a rod through my current 22k mile motor.

I would go with the MS4, because you can run out of N20.

I would say it depends on what you want.... If you race alot on the street and want something more along the lines of a sleeper then I would do a nice nitrous set-up. You cant hide a cam. But if you dont care, want the sound and the fun factor of added power thats there all the time do a cam. I ran around with a full bolt on car with 4.10s and 125 shot for a while and most people never know what hit em. LMAO!

i can agree with all of yall, half of me wants to be sneaky and go with the dry plate cause it's clean under the hood, but then again the other half wants everybody to know what there getting into when they line up, i'll end up with both sooner or later, so i'll need a cam that will compliment the n20

I have the ms3 and would never want to drive the car daily but mine is set up for the track so driving on the street is kinda annoying. When i did daily drive mine i had a reverse split cam 228/222 with a 115lsa. It was a great daily driver cam and drove pretty much stock but put down 380 to the wheels.

Don't know much about it, but with the MS4 i don't think your valves will clear with stock heads. Maybe someone else will chime in?

If they clear, I would get the cam and do the N20 later.
