well i had this cam in my car but i was a m6. i had this cam with stock 243's. so you should be just fine. just make sure you get a stall that will get along with this beast of a cam. in my stick car this thing would pull like a mother in third and fourth gear. i mean thats where i would start walking people. evcen people who had more done than i did.

I agree with 00pewtertransam my ms4 pulls like a freight train in third and fouth gear. It is like it builds up boost in the first and second gear and then BAM!!!!! That bitch is gone.

I run the same cam with an m6 also, its definitely loud as hell and is one hell of a cam. Be careful at low rpms it absolutely HATES it. I also run stock 241 heads with the spring kit from tsp and it does just fine i wouldnt worry about it.

I think you could get away with a smaller cam and make the same numbers + be more driveable.

I would look into something along the lines of 230's duration and around 600 lift.

The f-14 and f-13 from Futral are wonderful cams.

Go with a TREX. but theyre right youll need a big stall for an automatic. try the ultra yank 4800 that will be perfect. Remember TREX is the best cam

Also I daily drive the car and it drives just fine. You have to have a good tuner. My tuner takes it out on the street and we tune until I fill like I have were I want it. I have 4.10 gears with my M6 and I can cruise at 65 in 6th gear with the rpms at 14-1500 rpms just fine with out any surging. Good luck with what ever you choose. The MS4 is a great off the shelve cam.
