Would an MS4 cam be a good choice for my 98 TA?
I'm in the process of specing out the parts for my H/C on my 98 TA. The heads are being done by a local friend's race shop. They are 5.3L castings that are going to be resized for LS1 valves, ported, milled .03, and 3-angled. They should be a great budget head. Valve springs will depend on what cam I go with.
The car has Pacesetter LTs, ORY, Spintech cat-back, and will have a 3400 Midwest converter in it.
Right now I'm running the stock TB and LS1 intake, but will be upgrading to an LS6 or a FAST intake.
I know I'll need to flycut, but I would REALLY like to hit over 400rwhp in this car if possible. 450 would be a dream.
What do you guys think?

With that year block, you should change the rod bolts. They are prawn to spin rod bearings. Use Katech bolts.
As for cam That is up to you, but unless you want to restall, you should pick a cam that falls in the shift extensions of the stall.

You do not need to tear it down. Read this:

Dur, my mind isn't working right today. I was thinking of the pins that hold ths piston to the rods when I read your post.
Hmmm, maybe I should just do a tubular k-member while I'm in there replacing rod bolts.
