I ran an S cam on my LS1 GTO, a while back. It made sick power, but with a 3600 TC the rwtq #'s were low, BUT... at 386rwhp/339rwtq it ran 7.50's (1/8 mile) N/A and 7.20's (traction limited) on spray (about a 100 shot) @ 3800lbs. Sounded awesome and was not too bad on the skreet.

I have the MS3 cam in my car. It has been in for 30k. Havent had a single issue. I drive it on 900 mile road trips every year down to myrtle beach. The car makes 412rwhp on stock 241 heads, stock intake manifold through a motive 4.10 gear. On the 100 shot, it makes 517rwhp.
The power the ms3 brings on is awesome. 3800-7k it keeps pulling and pulling.
here is a quick idol video if your interested. I also have 50+ race videos on youtube but im not going to get into that right now.

They are almost identical. Its a drivers race of all is same on both cars. I would go with TSP cam
I ran the MS3 for 5 years. Even on a crappy tune it performed awesome. There has Been a debate about the S cam being a copy of the other. Either way. Properly installed and tuned you wont know the difference between the two.

I have an MS3 cam with a 113 LSA in my 4,000 lb CTS-V, and I love it! Its my daily driver and has great street manners. Once my LS6 hits 3800 rpms, you better hold on! Haaa. Its pulls hard all the way to 7k.

That debate works both ways but as I have already stated, both are great cams.

I have a MS3 113LSA with a 3200 stall and 3.73's and it's fun to drive and sounds great. Still working the tune and have to dyno it. No track times till I can get a new rear and Dr's. Even with the small 3200 stall the 3.73's get it into power quick but the tires break loose easy. But ya after 3500 rpm the cam just pulls all the way to the 6500-6600rpm shift point I have it set at. With a M6 you may want to get some 4.10's since the cam is lazy under 3000.

I had the stock 3.42's in my car with the ms3 for about 20k, then I figured I would have 4.10's installed. I am going back to 3.42's. The 4.10's absolutely kill this cam if its not strictly a drag strip car IMO. 3.73's with the M6 would be a better choice. Not to mention when im spraying, I need to shift every 3 seconds.
