Cam input..

In trying to decide between 3 cams right now, for now the engine will be "cam only" with either 241 or 243 heads untouched (until the future), LS6 intake and bolt-ons backed by a t56. Cam choices are:
MS3 (237-239 on 113) Advanced induction 234-238 on 112 or the Torquer 2
(232-234 on 112). i have found some cam only ms3 cars making between 420-430 and the torquer 2's making anywhere from 400-420 on the high side. Just want some input and if you have a ms3 how high are you spinning the motor?

Is this gonna be a track car or a street/strip warrior. I don't really no much about the AI cam but I've heard they put out some great products. I know some people with the MS3 and Torquer 2 and they couldn't be happier. I really don't think you could go wrong with any of those choices.

The AI cam is probably one of their shelf grinds, but i have read that they have asymetrical lobes and are much easier on springs even with more lift

You'll want the intake duration in the 228-232 range for your desired rpms
01's cam would work well for ya
