Tsunami specs look like a nice cam...I have the ms3 and its good but Id love more low end. Gears help but under the curve power is nice. I spray occasionaly so the intake/lift set up would concern me. I say go for the Tsunamia and report numbers!!

I say custom. Something like a 232/237 -ish around .600 lift and on a 111 or 112 LSA if your trying to make it fairly streetable.
How much RWHP are you looking to make?
Is this a DD ?

I wouldn't go with anything over 230 @ .050 on the intake if you want some good low end. You want big hp numbers (450) and good low end power. Decide on what you really want. It's going to take a good set of heads to make 450hp while still having good low end. My car is making 345rwtq @ 2500 and 395rwtq @ 4800 its a lot of fun, it really shreds tires. My cam is quite a bit smaller than the ones you listed.

Keep in mind if your bottom end is stock that you will be rappin that motor so high to fully utilize a big cam that your rod bolts will probably fail in time with your car being a 98. Just a thought. Make smart decisions now. Bigger isn't always better.

I have the MS3 and love it! Im spinning mine up to 6800rpms and it pulls hard all the way up to there. I DD it and havent had a single issue. Car is actually very streetable.
down low, the MS3 feels like the stock cam. Up top, it feels like a 75 shot is being sprayed over the stock cam.

^^+1 for the MS3 being street able, I love mine. Isn't the lift on the Tsunami close to the MS4? Wouldn't you have to watch the PVC(piston to valve clearance)? The duration isn't to bad, it would have a little more torque than the MS3, right? Still would have a lot of top end though.
I say the Tsunami if the PVC is ok.

if u wanna fly cut your pistons then go with the tsunami. if u dont wanna then go with the ms3. simple. i just ordered my heads, i got the 5.3 2.5's and texas told me the largest u could go was the ms3. and they gotta custom cut the heads for it. i went with the tourquer v.3
