Default Ported 243 Casting + MS4 or TV3?

So I have narrowed it down to an MS4 or TV3. I am going to port/polish some 243 casting heads and put them with either cam.

What should I raise my rev limit to with these cams? Which one would you choose out of these two. This is a street car.

I know some of you say these aren't the most streetable of cams and are not good for daily drivers, but I rebuild the top end every 30k miles and I would drive anything daily. It is never a hassle for me. I love it.

Personally I would go with the TV3, b/c it makes a slightly broader torque curve and would be better for driving around on the street.

Either cam you go with raise the Rev limiter to 7k, both pull pretty well up to about 6800 ish or so.

Its a crap shoot. Some 2000's got the updated rod bolts while others did not. I wouldnt chance it with the early bolts.
