So I Cracked My Block & am Considering a Slightly Smaller Cam ......while it's apart.
So here are my engine specs:
Stock LS6 lower end with Katech Rod Bolts
Melling Oil Pump
243's with fresh 5 angle valve job
-PRC 650 Valve springs
-Comp Cams Trunion Upgrade
Current cam is an MS3/112
FAST 92 with NW 92mm TB
1 3/4 long tubes
Trans is a T56 from a GTO
Mind you, this motor has not been run since being built, And I've been thinking for a while that the MS3 might have been a little too large. I have a LS6 block on the way, that and my rotating assembly will be dropped of at AES next week. So I'm thinking, now is the time to rethink that cam. I have a friend who has been helping me with my swap. He is planning a future build much more aggressive than mine. He'd love that MS3 and I owe him big time.
I'm thinking the Texas Speed 233/239 .595"/.603" might be better suited for my build.
Car is a 1995 BMW M3, and will not be daily driven. It's gonna get driven a lot, just not daily.
BTW, info here on how I cracked the block:
