I am going to be getting a tsp MS3 114 LSA with stock 243 zo6 heads. I have a 4000 stall. How do you think this setup will work?

Hopefully this setup will help me get back some top end that I lost from the converter. I ran a 12.2 with a trap speed of 108

I'm more worried about track times than dyno numbers, i put down 335 at the wheels with headers before the gears and stall, breaking the 400's would be nice but hitting mid to low 11's would be even nicer

I'd get the MS3 ON A 111 or 112lsa...I had it on a 114LSA and it made good numbers, but it was peaky. So I pulled it out an went with a custom cam on a 111LSA and made a HUGE mid range difference.

You'd put up a higher mph with the MS3 on a 111 or 112LSA than a 114LSA

Do the 112 mayne. + it will sound better at idle and you will get more usable power with a 112 on a ms3.
