Wanted to know what you guys think? I am running a jr intake eb750 carb and a 200 wet shot:D the rest of the motor is all stock. I was thinking either the ms3 or the torquer v2. I am open to options though. However i am looking for off the shelf proven cam. Also do either of these need the pistons flycut. I have also talked to an engine builder and he says to keep the 5.3 heads on it what do you guys think?

call EPS and get a cam for a single plane intake, not one made for efi

Either Geoff @ EPS of Patrick G are my votes. a custom cam is especially important when going carb other wise you leave a lot of power on the table.

Also just using a cam someone else has had spec may not be the best unless everything is a complete carbo copy down to gear ratios, stall,expectation, tire size and weight of the vehicle etc etc.
