i think the reason people put smaller cams in FI cars is because we dont need a huge cam to make big power, u dont need a big lopey cam that takes a bit of tuning to get to idle right.

I have a cam that is around the same specs as a MS3 but on a 114 and I am going to be putting on a A&A Vortech T-trim in the near future, so we will see how it does.

What do you mean by disturbing? As in like 7 lbs and 600rwhp? lol.

that seems to be the norm with donkey dick cams and small boost.

Not so much disturbing, but more so enlightening, not many people wanted to try a huge overlap cam with boost as they thought it might not work and was not worth the effort to swap it out.
