dosnt mean it dosnt perform well!
i love mine. if ur auto get a stall it will fix ur problem, if ur 6 speed wit 410s i dont think you will see low rpms for that long anyways. it will still pull on a smaller cam that is suppose to net better low end power.

I love mine and could drive it everyday if I wanted with no issues. But my car is setup to be a top-end monster and I still have stock 3.42s but it really needs 4.11s to get in the powerband quicker

that hasnt really been a problem for me. we spend most of the race in high RPMS anyways.i think aslong as ur not launching off of idle you wont really notice. the only time u notice the loss of low end is DD. but from my personal view its not that bad.

Honestly, if I was looking for a 1/8th mile cam, this would not be it....for me. I guess with a high enough stall or a super clutch, it would be ok, but there are probably better. For a 1/4mile cam, or 'couple of stoplights' cam, it rocks!

if you want a decent all around cam. that has nicer low end i would say Torquer 2. if i were to ever get a smaller cam it would be that one. it sounds nice, and performs well. but i really like my ms3. i dont plan on changing it anytime soon.

The MS3 is a 237/242 .603".609" with some advance ground in the LSA (I am not 100% sure though)
I run the cam in my 346, love its pull. It is a bit of a dog under 2500 rpms...but so what! 3000+ you better hold on to something. I race the car and plan on running a dual stage wet nitrous system in a few weeks, as the MS3 really works well with the spray.
I had 4.10 gears but broke the ring, so I am back to the stock 3.42's and it still hauls.
The 4.10 gears make for some easier around town driving, especially coming off red lights. You could without a doubt DD this cam, but you need someone who KNOWS how to tune work with it for some time. A cookie cutter tune WILL NOT suffice, and your driveability WILL SUFFER. I experience some bucking from time to time, but it is worth it.
I had a cookie cutter tune in there for a while, and everything was off. Timing, a/f, idle. You really need to put the car on a dyno and work with it for a few hours to get its full potential. 95% of driveability is in the tune IMO. Dan here @ MASPORT retuned it and we wre able to produce my numbers you see below with heads and a ported FAST.
I have a built T56 by the way.
+1 for the MS3.
