Good Cam For SetUp
I just ordered an LS6 Intake Manifold and will be p&p my throttle body very soon. I was looking into getting a ms4 for my setup. Just wondering if this is a good cam for my setup or not. I was looking at getting the tsp camshaft, prc spring kit & pushrod package. Would this be everything for a cam install besides a good tune? Sorry for the noob ? but Im new to the cam world. Thanks

I'm not the most knowledgeable guy around here but I'll give it a shot. The PRC springs and chromoly rods will be fine but you will need new lifters due to the shear size of the cam. I would also reccomend a heavy duty timing chain set and a blueprinted or at least shimmed oil pump. Everything I have heard about the MS4 tells me it's a good cam but, to get the full power that it has to offer your gonna need a good set of heads to match it. Do some research around the sight you'll find all the info you need.

You might want to check out the cam guide for a better grasp on cams. What are you going to be primarily doing with the car? I hope you know that the MS4 is non-smog compliant. Typically all you need is cam/springs/pushrods and a new crankbolt. You plan on doing the install yourself?

I dont have to worry about smog. My car is regisdtered in VA where there is no smog test. I dont really drive the car that much. A few times during the week and maybe a little cruise on the weekends. I plan on doing heads but a littles ways into the future. I only have 58000 on the clock. So that package is good and all I would need to get is an LS2 timing chain and a LS6 oil pump. Now one more thing, I plan on driving the car home to VA in April. Is this going to be possible with the MS4, since its so aggresive? Thanks for all the info orangeapeel.

*Edit* Just noticed that you are M6. The stock ratio 3.42's will work for getting you home and would probably get you way better gas mileage on the highway. Ultimately you are going to want to get a set of 3.73-4.10's eventually with a cam like that. Otherwise it will really be a dog down low.

I plan on getting a Moser 9" with either 4.10 or 4.11 gears when I get back from deployment. Oops forgot to update my sig. Not much, but might help out a little. Especially with the cam.
