I have a MS3 in a 4L60E. Last Sunday ran a 7.0 @ 98 in the 8th on motor. On a 150 shot ran a 6.64 @ 104. That is our best 8th mile times. In the 1/4 we ran 10.55 @ 132 on spray and 11.0 @ 122 on motor last year.

This cam likes alot of converter and gear for sure. My old setup in my current car in sig was a MS3, TEA prepped 853s (2.02 intake valves), fast 90, TCI 3500 converter (intended to run bottle but didn't get that far with it), and 3.42s, 3450 race weight. Consistent 12.0s (I'm talking bracket racing consistent, and this was in a daily driver). Best pass 11.83@115. I think a 4000+ converter and 4.10s would've made it a different car entirely.
