i would guess about 10-15rwhp up top, might lose a little down low...not really sure it is it worth all the time and hassle of the swap and retune unless you are doing it all yourself...plus you have to have the valve reliefed 2.5 PRC 5.3s for the ms3 to fit...

but with the same setup in a light 3150 lb car my dad has gone 10.40s at 127mph

I wouldn't waste the money. Now if you get a cam speced out for your application it may be worth it if you are doing the install.

Definately no. I wish I had left my TV2 alone. Your not talking 10rwhp and the TV2 comes on alot quicker than a MS4. I don't think a MS3 would be much different.
