My TSP 408 Ws6 Video inside!
Finally after trouble shooting here and there, I was able to find the little problems causing it to misfire and snap at higher rpm. 3 MSD wires were arching pretty bad on my ABS lines, so I replaced the set an new NGK TR55's and she runs way better. Are these normal numbers? Im looking into getting a better tune. It was running about 11.2-11.8 at WOT. They said I could get more out of her with a better tune, but it looked like a decent safe tune. LOL. The limiter is at 6200rpm. I have been looking up ms4 cam power peaks and it seems to be around 6400? Should I get a better tune? Thanks guys.

Sounds about right. My car peaked at 6600, but I have a ported FAST92, MS3(114LSA) and PRC 2.5 5.3 heads and FAST 36# injectors completely maxed out with the stock fuel pump. You'll make a little more when the motor finally is fully broken in also. Good #'s bro, you'll be in the same boat as me needing heads lol. Your peak rpm does seem a little low. Horsepower/Torque crossover for me was around 5500ish. We have extremely close setups.

I'd be very pleased with those numbers considering your setup. If you had some 1 7/8 headers, a lid, and a retune to get that AFR up closer to 12.9:1, you'd probably be right at that 550 number. Even that is outstanding for an MS4 cam.

Fire your tuner and find another one.

Not bad, you're well on your way and the MS4 isn't considered a "huge" cam by most for a 408, so you should be able to get some decent street manners out of her with a good tune! Keep it up!

I do not know much about cams, but the MS4 is a mild cam for a 408.
Look into something that had better mid power, as far as i know the MS4 is mostly topend power, you cam pull higher than 6400. Have someone spec out a custom cam with some better LSA and it might sound better. I had the MS4 in my 346 and i hated the idle.
Awesome numbers!
