i have no experiences myself, but from a lot the threads i have gone throught it seems like the ms3 and ms4 as mentioned above are a couple of the favorites. i have never seen anyone say anything bad about the Trex cam either. even seen PatrickG talk good about the ol trex cam.

well im changing my set up to a more radical one. still on stock heads right now im on a 230/228 .603/.589 110 lsa.
im thinking either ms4 or the trex camshaft.
does the ms4 require flycutting pistons?

Something like that would probably require a little, just have to measure and see. Some people get away without it but from what I've heard, most have to with a bigger cam. If you want something huge and gnarly, call up EPS, they have the best lobes out right now and have been making wicked power/torque with their custom grinds. I saw a guy that went 450/426 on an 01 camaro, longtubes, ls6 manifold, supporting mods, basic slightly home ported 241s, and a tune with their off the shelf 234/246 111lsa cam.

TREX is proven.
FTI Hellion is another one though.
243/247 .629/.629 - 112LSA
C5 - 347 forged shortblock - AFR 205 heads - LG headers - over 500 RWHP
2005 GTO - 364 stock shortblock - ETP 225 - Kooks Headers - FAST - 513 RWHP

Not sure on that one but I think its right on the edge of either needing a little or not needing it. Call em up and see. Haha, good cam to look at or just get a custom one grind by them for what you want. I just picked up a custom EPS thats just a hair smaller than that one and the guy who had it first (only has 1k miles on it) made 406/398 to the wheels cam only with 3 bad piston rings so I'm hoping I can get some real good numbers from it with 243s and a solid engine haha.

stock rod bolts and your limiter was 7200? thats just asking for disaster. generally anything over 6500 is reserved for stronger rod bolts. and there is no need to rev an MS4 to 7200 RPM. it makes power untill about 6500. i had my limiter set at 7200 with ARP bolts and shifted at 6900 ish...
