From personal experience I currently have an MS3 but now wish I got a Polluter. The Cam package from Tick is great. The Deluxe comes with


Our Standard Cam Kit includes the Polluter Camshaft, Patriot Performance Xtreme Dual Springs (rated for .660" lift), titanium retainers, Super 7 Machined locks, spring seats, seals and hardened chromemoly 7.400" pushrods.




Our Deluxe Cam Kit includes everything in our standard kit with the addition of an LS2 Timing Chain and a ported/blueprinted LS6 Oil Pump. Choose the deluxe kit if you're wanting everything needed to get the job done RIGHT.

$869...

A safe-big cam is an oxymoron. I would recommend choosing a cam that is in the popular 228/232 or 230/230 range between .580-.615" lift with an LSA between 111-112 with 2 to 4 degrees of advance. Any cam in this window will be great. Safe and plenty big.

Most dual purpose LS1 combinations like this one from New Era Performance Parts.
