Lol, off topic is fine. I was wondering about springs as well...you asked a question that I forgot to ask, so all is good lol. Well the guy sold the 5.3 heads, and the ms3......come to find out it was milled, and he had the pistons fly cut, so I wouldn't have bought them anyway. So now its back to 243 heads, with good cam. Anyone else have recomendations on cams? I'm looking to start pulling hard around 2500-3000 rpms, and I'll shift at 6200, MAYBE 6500...depends.

Well, just read about the new Tsunami cam. Looking into that as well. How much milling can I get away with on stock valve ls6 heads?

Mine have around 48,000 miles on em. But I dont run my engine to the moon every time I drive. They are weak now and I just have to find time to replace them. The PRC duals that is.

Wow, 48000 miles? What cam is that one? I wont be reving it to the moon that much, or all the time also. Only at the track...which still wont be that much. I think I raced last year like 2 or 3 times.

Its the MS3. The springs are very weak now and I need to replace them ASAP. I drive this car alot all over texas where ever I need to go. Its 10 one way to work, 350 one way to my Gaurd drill, and alot of cruising on the weekends. And sometimes to Italy Tx to visit friends, which is around 800 round trip. Been driving it since march 07. So I know what the MS3 is like on the highway, in town all weather. All year.

TSP, I sent one of your sales guy (can't remember who) and e-mail about some recomendations for my motor with a cam, maybe MS based.

I might have take advantage of that tax time sale if it goes on long enough.

Wow, I am liking the ms3 a lot more now. I've wanted it before, but this makes me want it more.

I have a question for TSP though pertaining to an order. I ordered the ngk plugs/msd wire combo, but didn't get the wires. I got my sensors, plugs, gaskets, ect. Any help?

I havnt been nice to my car, I do regular maintaince, but I am pulled in alot of dirrections for work Military duty, visiying friends, and the occasional all out when the feeling hits, and the track. Like I said They need replacing, but the PRC golds(duals) have been great and have gone beyond TSP probley has thout. Not recomended cus I am expecting a break, but Uncle Sam has been nice to me for a refund so LME will be getting a call for a 416, I will be reusing my TSP LS6 2.5 heads I got a few yrs ago. Been thinking of reusing my MS3, or the Vindicator(already have) with a 1.8 rocker ratio retarded 2 degrees.

So I am now debating on the ms3 vs Tsunami cam, let alone all the others. Way too many options lol.
