We are offering a money back guarantee on our cams right now. Our Stage 3 cam is quite aggressive but still very streetable. Makes very strong midrange and top end power. I would put it up against the MS3 any day of the week.

Bolt on, cam only with a stock LS6 intake my personal car puts down 430whp and still sees 23mpg+ on the highway.

You might look into Thunder Racing's Raptr Cam ( 236/242 .615/ .615 111 (3000-6800 RPM) LG's G5x3 or 2 are nice power makers.
Happy modding

You should be just fine. For a stock head car they'll fit no problem. 237,247 etc.. might want to check p/v clearance. I've heard the Raptr™ on youtube, and it's got a killer idle. For me, If i were sticking with a 347 LSX i'd opt for it. I've had LG G5X3 for over 40k miles now, but this cam profile seems intriguing. Good Luck bro
