If you run the MS3 with the stage 2.5 5.3 heads from TSP they set the heads up to allow clearance for your cam, but your best bet to go over various combos is to give Texas Speed a call and they can get you the info you need.

You will need to check PTV clearence. Or you can tear apart your bottom end when all hell breaks loose.
