Default TSP Magic Stick or HPE S Cam

im looking at getting either cam thats posted in the title.(Magic Stick or S cam) but i need yalls opinion on which cam is better. i plan on getting a converter with maybe a 3500 stall(i may go bigger if needed), kooks headers, True duals, F.A.S.T intake, and a 100-150 shot. i just wanted to know which one of these two cams would be the best for this setup. and what rocker arms and springs should i go with? and anything else you guys may think is required or recommended. any input is greatly appreciated.Thanx

S-cam = 238/242 113 or 115lsa
MS3 = 237/242 113 or 114lsa
both XE-R lobes.

Buy whichever one you can get cheapest.

As far as springs and rockers. Get something like the Patriot or PRC dual springs, and the stock rocker arms are fine.

so both cams would make about the same power with that setup?

considering you asked about two cams that the only difference is 1* or intake duration, i would suspect there is really no need to ask since they will both most likely produce about the same #s.
