Default ms3 or ms4

i am trying to decide between the ms3 and the ms4 for my daily driver 01 ss. The ms4 would be the obvious choice if the decision was based off power alone, especially power under the curve. The only reason i have to consider the ms3 would be less wear on the valvetrain. The intake lift on the ms4 is about as high as you can go with most dual springs... so is there anyone who would choose the ms3 because of this?

niether... get a custom grind. MS cams are definitely over rated if you want anything "under the curve" if you want a Vtec LS1, go for it...

Why not wait for the ms5? You know as soon as you buy something the new version will come out within 6 months. There ain't no telling what Jason and the TSP crew are up to!

The MS4 offers more midrange power than the MS3, but I'm not sure it's worth it if you already have the MS3 in there.
