Go with the MS3 cam. Makes great power N/A & does well with spray. I personally think the MS4 is overated!
As TLUZLS1 said. Pm Patrick. All of his cams make great power!

bigger cams sound nasty and will usually make a lil more peak power then smaller cams, but smaller cams can perform just as good as some of the bigger cams.. my car has an ms3 (was in there when i baught it) and i do like it!

mike's right! i'm making 390 on motor with a cam only ls1 through a stalled automatic with a .575 lift cam! it would easily be over 400 if i had a 6 speed. there's no 'curve' to the power curve on nitrous either, it makes peak hp all the way from 3500 to 6500 rpm

What are you wanting to do with the car? Is it a daily driver, or being devoted to an all race setup? What tranny, gearing, etc? What bolt ons mods do you have? All these questions, and more, need to be answered before we can recommend you a camshaft. The Magic Sticks are not for everyone!

Key statement in bold. I and many other installers recommend anything above 230ish duration camshafts to be checked. It's not really hard to do, and the extra tools required probably cost less than $50, which I'd imagine is a little less than fixing a motor that went unchecked.
