I can imagine its big brother is the same way.

i cant speak for the MS3 but the MS4 peaks around 6600. i didnt lose much power above that either...it kinda flatlined.

I cant speak from experience about the other cams you mentioned, but with your stall right now and rod bolts, the ms3 would be nasty on your setup.

shift at peak hp to get the rpms back to or closer to peak tq.you want to use your power curve as much as possible.

Perhaps you should ask who has actually measured. Believe many of these cams are below safe minimums for PTV so caveat emptor.

What do you mean best all around? If those are the only cams you are looking at then the only thing you need to be concerned with is how it runs at WOT because they aren't DD cams, gas mileage cams, bottom end torque cams etc..

Trex, why, because the car just feels like it doesn't stop pulling. mid-High RPM power is just unbelievable.
