We have been getting very good results with our stinger cam. 224/230 113+3. Cam hauls azz at the track and has been putting down 435-445rwhp and 400-415tq . Give me a call and I can help you with a cam choice, but that cam is our most popular at the moment. Excellent street manners with very good power.

For a solid street cam, anything in the 224-235 range should work great. And there's plenty to choose from so here on out is just nit-picking IMO. However, whoever you decide to go w/ in grinding or buying the cam, ask them the same question and what they'd prescribe for you.

We've got a few cams that should treat you very well with the mods you've stated. Our 228R is the first that comes to mind (228/228 .588"/.588"). It has been shown for several years to be a proven performer on the street and at the track! It will make peak power just after 6000rpm, so your 6500rpm shift point/rev limiter would be plenty!

Let us know if we can help with your combo! We've got cam kits starting at $589 with cam, springs, and pushrods. We also offer all of the related items such as gaskets, pullies, etc that you might want and need at the time of install!

thanks for all the help guys. i was kind of leaning towards ms3. what are your thoughts about ms3 with my heads?

Sales2@Texas-speed

iTrader: (5)

Do the heads have stock valves in them? Have they been milled any? The biggest concern there is piston to valve clearance. Also, the Magic Stick needs more gear on that 6 speed car to help get you into its tall powerband. It's a race oriented camshaft with great top end power, but you have to be willing to sacrifice some of that low end grunt and make up for it if you want street manners and such.

it has stock valves, hasnt been milled. im thinking about getting some 410's for my car. do you think with that it would be n ok car or its really intended for track use for the most part.

Setup properly, it could be a blast for the track! The extra compression from the 5.3's will be nice too

If your heads aren't milled to much the torquer v.3 is a good cam shaft if you want a quick street car. I have the prc 2.5 5.3 heads with a custom speced predator Z cam 230/230 598/612 on a 111+2 that just made 434rwhp 402 rwtq to the wheels. This was with a fast 92/92 and most bolt ons through a full exhaust with cats in a (4000) stalled a4. With your 6 speed this thing would probably put down 450-460 pretty easy and probably around 420 tq.

You may want to give some of the sponsor shops a call and have them spec you a cam. I have read nothing but great things about that Predator-z specced cam also^.

228/232 111 will do what you want it to.

Futral Motorsports F-11 228/230 on a 112 LSA since you want a choppy idle.

thanks for all the input guys! im really thinking between a custom grind or the ms3. whichever i find first i'll go with it.

i like the V3. pulls great from 3K and i have seen it make 420 on the dyno through an M6.

Asking for someones opinion on which cam to run is like pissing in the wind, asking on the internet is like asking a bunch of guys to **** in the wind with you. Get a custom grind. Then you get what works best for you and at least the cam grinder knows which way the wind is blowing.

i think you like this pissing simile a little to much
