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 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.
