My only advise for a cam... Is think abotu how big of a cam you need/want. And go a little bigger.
I went with a 226/230 specd cam from Pat G. And I love it. But wish it was a LITTLE bigger sometimes.
What I LOVE about this cam is there is NO loss of power in the mid to low ranges and a 30hp gain up top. I can post the dyno if you want.

My cam specs are 236/238 .601/.605 on 113. I love it and power still hits fairly low. It's aggressive at idle and loves the nitrous. At times I wish it was bigger but any bigger and it would move my powerband up to 3k plus so anywhere other than full throttle, it wouldn't be very useful. I like that it hits at 2100 and still pulls to 6800.

I think both you guys have great cams, when you have a big cam you sometimes wish it was smaller lol, i know i wish i would have went with a high 230s cam,i love the ms4 but the only reason i got it was because i got the whole kit brand new for 400, couldnt pass on it so thats what im sticking with, the only thing is the cam is only good as the supporting mods

MS4 is monster!! Are u still on stock heads?
I seriously considered that cam but piston to valve clearance would have been an issue and it's a 3600+ power range cam. It's a dyno queen for sure though and puts down big numbers!! I'd imagine it would be a pretty tough cam to daily though. How do u like it for drivability?
MS3 was the better choice of the two u listed IMO so good move. You'll love it.

I was told it was going to be dangerously close with stock heads. A little valve float and you'd smack a piston. How true that is im not 100% but thats what i was told. Just a little too close for my comfort. On the plus side, it chops/thumps hard and sounds ridiculous at idle and pulls like a freight train up top. The powerband for me just wouldn't have hit early enough. These cars are heavy and being a daily driver, I wanted something that would pull from lower in the rpm range. The MS4 is a dyno queen though and my absolute favorite for the sound at idle. It's a beasty stick!

I know what u mean. My syclone is a slug until the snail starts to spool. It's worse than my caddy with the ms3. Lol
