oh ok thanks, i didnt know that. so MS4 cam kit it is. that cam kit is $700, has anybody put their own MS4 cam kit together that was cheaper. i even call texas speed and with the MS4 cam they give u springs rated at .650 lift and the cam is .649 lift, why not give us the springs rated at .675 lift.

Also, the biggest cam isn't always the best cam. What other mods do you have?

Not true. There are plenty of people running that cam in their DD. It all depends on how good his tuner is.
LS2 single chain is fine. I would run a lil smaller cam but to each his own... On my old 346 I thought a lower 230s cam was just about right....nice bottomend and carried good power to 6500+
do not use the comp cam that u mentioned it is way too big and not only have ptv problems but your car would be a dog
a ms4 is good if you dont mind being extreme and are ok with a not as good driveability
but if your not, go with a 228 through 234 sized cam good power and good driveability
