i doubt u'll find anyone that has run all 3 of those cams. there all pretty similiar, i think the trex is the "biggest" ... all seem to have good results.

type that in the search box and you'll get alot of people running each cam... check out the dyno sections and look for people that have posted times and decide from there.

i doubt anyone has run all 3 either haha but im just looking for people that know a good deal about any of them. not looking to make my car a dyno queen, otherwise i would look up all those videos. track #s > dyno #s for me.

is it a track only car...cause those are really track only cams...might wanna do some research...

yep, those are kinda some big cams. If you DD your car then you might want to look around at some other ones. Im not saying that they are bad though.

What kind of track times/dyno #'s are you looking for?

I would look into some 224 cams personally. I went with the MS4 but only because it's not even close to a DD. It gets driven about 2 weekends a month, that's it. Mainly I run it down the track.

it will be a DD. i know SEVERAL people, a few on the stock clutch and 10 bolt, running the ms4. but they all jumped on the bandwagon so i thought id check out mroe than jsut the ms4 (not that it isnt great) i heard somewhere on here that a vindicator & ls6 intake made 440rwhp. might have been today. ill try and find the thread, but dont quote me.

No ****, that stuff new couldn't of been cheap. Isn't the corsa like 800.

All I'm gonna say, is don't throw the biggest cam on your car cuz your friends have it. The MS4 probably isn't the best choice for a daily driver...correct me if i'm wrong but isn't that a cam for much higher than stock rpms as well?

aren't all kinda crappy in low pms but better when you get closer to 6k?

Get a cam in the low 230 range with a tight LSA for a nice lope, yet still DD.
I would recommend this cam 230/230 .612/.592 111+2 LSA (custom)

those are all huge cams!!! they can be drivable but it will be rough man..

i agree with pred. Its probably worth it to make 5 less rwhp and go with something in the low 230 duration at 600 lift. Thats kindof what i have... (233/239 .598/.603 112 lsa).. and id say its drivable but, right on the edge. Im 18 years old (b days in 4 days.. and happpy b day to you), so im not telling you this like a responcible adult, but you might get a bit annoyed with a humongo cam, mine is still definatly like... here just listen.....

I agree with all these guys, u need to know what ur goals are for the car and be realistic with the mods. many many times ive been tempted to throw a BIG cam in because I hear/read about all the track numbers and dyno numbers associated with them, but my car isn't a track only car, but it's not a daily driver either. I want a good inbetween cam. bigger isn't always better. just my .02

I would definitely advise against all three of those cams listed unless your car's a track *****. Is your car auto or 6 speed? With an auto, your car will be a slug with those cams on a stock stall, and if your car's a 6 speed, then you really need a more aggressive gear than stock to make use of those cams power bands.

FYI I originally wanted to go Trex, but then I decided against it and put in a 232/234 cam with a hefty amount of lift and I think I definitely made the correct decision. So I know where you're coming from. Good luck.
