I cant tell you which one but my old roomate used to have a MS3 in his 2001 Z28. It idled pretty bad and the gas milage was terrible. His car only picked up about 2 tenths on motor and 4 tenths on spray. It felt like it made power between 4500 and 7000 rpm. Until 4500 it had no power. Thats just what Ive seen so there you go.

I have the MS3 in my z06 and gained 50rwhp. I love the power and torque. I get 30mpg in my z06 at 70mph on the interstate. I went with the ms3 over the g5x3 because of the price. The biggest thing that will make you love or hate the cam or any cam is the tune. I have stock idle still and my car drives like stock.

I have a friend that had the G5X3 on 112 on stock heads, LG headers with cats and full bolt-ons and he made ~ 440hp and ~400tq.

It drove great and I thought the midrange was more impressive than my TR230 cam or my Texas Speed 231/237 112 cam.

i've decided, i'm going with the MS3 on a 114LSA

the MS3 has a better/higher DCR and it makes better torque in the lower rpm range than the G5X3
