TV2 unless you are gonna upgrade clutch/rear/DS so your drivetrain can stand the high rpm clutch dumps the MS3 needs to put it in it's powerband. Seriously unless your gonna make it a track car the TV2 is a much better choice IMO.....

need to know your goals to give you an accurate opinion. are you looking for more horsepower, or more streetable? although they are fairly close in duration and lift, the tv2 will be a little more streetable, although "streetable" is a loose term that only the user can decide what is and isn't. imo, the ms3 will net you some higher horsepower numbers on the dyno, but the tv2 might be a little better choice for the street, although they are both extremely popular cams around here

i have a new centerforce and slave that i just put in 1000 miles ago and im also going with a dana 60 in the rear i dnt want to make it a track car but i want something that's gonna get me in the 11s when i put the cam and heads on.. with the heads i was just gonna get my stock ones cnc with 202 intake and 160 exh valves do u think that will get the job done with the TV2??

my goals for the car is mid 11s after i put the cam and heads on i am looking to be more streetable over the top horsepower im actually looking on whats gonna give me the best torque so it can get me down that track but as far as the heads this is what im doin, i was just gonna get my stock ones cnc with 202 intake and 160 exh valves and have them milled down a lil for better compression do u think that will get the job done with the TV2??

I would go with a 228 cam. I have two V2 cars and know alot of people with the MS cams and the 228's will make within a ear shot of peak HP but alot more useable hp on the street.

Batman instead of looking at the TV2 you need to be looking at the TV3. Because people say it has more low and mid-range power campared to the TV2. If you have any questions about it then you need to call TSP and chat with them about it and they could tell you there opinion. But I've just been reading that the TV3 is better then the TV2.
