Default MS3 cam go wrong?

ok i have been looking into this new magic stick cam, freaking awsome!

1..but if i were to throw that cam and springs,push rods, would i have any problems with the stock oil pump?

2.. and would that cam be to much for my stock chain?

3.. I also see that MTI has around the same lift as MS3 but on MTIs web it recommends a way bigger cubd engine. so is this MS3 ok for me?

4.. and also with this new setup and tune will i pass smog? thanks skeeter

1. I have stock oil pump with 44,000 miles on it, no problems at all. 50psi at idle.
2. Again I have stock timing chain with no problems.
3. I love this cam, I put down 416rwhp with 3.42 gears now with 4.10 it may be a little lower will see.
4. If your emissions is just plug into the OBD port then you will pass but it has to be tuned.

I do not see any problems with you running the MS3.

It works really well if you have some converter to back it up

Swap the chain............Too cheap a thing to do that can save you a world of pain. IMO
