The MS4 and that cam arent even in the same ballpark, IMO.

Yes, that would be a good streetcar camshaft.

How about a T-REX, if you have the want for big power on motor this is the cam for you. And yes it is very street friendly with a good tune.

Thanks for the English lesson apparently I need to freshen up because much of the communicating that took place in my last profession was long distance and I did little to no speaking to the opposing party. Oh and its pimping not pimpin. Unless your trying to teach me Ebonics.

The comp cam would make a really good camshaft for a daily driven car. Make really good horsepower without giving up a whole lot of bottom end torque. What are your goals for the car?
