Default MS4, Trex, Ridiculously large

I do not want to have to flycut my pistons and I did some searching but couldn't get an answer for stock heads. With stock heads, what is the biggest cam I can run without having any problems? I have no problem having a 110-112 lsa, the rougher the better!

No flycutting for stock heads and stock gaskets.

I know the search can be touchy, just keep searching. This has been covered many times. As for those particular cams. The best thing you can do is call the company that you are buying the cam from and tell them your configuration and verify that you should be good to go. If you have had the car since new and know the heads havent been touched then you should be good. However, one slip up with timing or missed shift in a manual and you can/will have serious issues on your hands.

Just keep searching and even then. PatrickG has a service for a small fee that he can help guide you in a better direction as far as a cam choice. Everyones at a time where custom is better than cookie cutter cams now. There are many options out there to discover.

So I am still getting yes and no's on the MS4. It seems like the TRex won't happen, right? But, is the MS4 a choice or not?

the t-rex was designed for stock heads so no you wont have to fly cut with that cam.

Why don't you want to flycut is the bigger question.

I do not want to flycut because it seems like cutting your pistons in the motor is a horrible idea, metal shavings+motor=bad.

So now it seems possible to out the Trex or MS4 in my car...now I dunno what cam I want.


Trex, MS4 or 245/250 .611/.615 110+1

It is a daily car so I can't be stalling. But I am not a fan of it being so practical(I drive everyday with a rollcage and ET Streets...hah)

I am running a 3500 stall, 12 bolt with 3.73's and a tru trac how streetable will this be with one of these? I could care less how rough the idle is, as long as I don't stall out and it starts every time.

245/250 .611/.615 110+1 would be suicide without flycutting.......
