Looking for a cam I know I've posted a similar thread a while back like this, but I figure just posting a new one would be easier...
So a pretty big local show is in the near future, and I want to put a cam in my car before then. I've been planning a head/cam combo, but I just don't have the money to do it all at once now.
I have an idea of the heads I want, but I'm completely lost on a cam. I know that Futral cams and the MS4/3 cams are good but I think I remember reading that there are better ones out there.
Can I get some help on some good cams?
Oh, and I'm running full exhaust with long tubes, a FAST LS6 intake and 90mm throttle body. I plan on getting it retuned after the cam install.

Don't go too small with a stick. Don't be afraid of big :-) 232/232 .600/.600 112+4
We put something similar in mnyptZ's car with slightly milled 98 heads and made like 410hp on Norris's dyno. Car drove great and would easily be fine as a dd.

MS4 or MS3 are both BIG cams for a motor that you want low end power on a stock motor. Most big cams don't make power until the top end. You will need something in the 220-230's duration and around 595-600 lift.

The MS3 is a dog down low. I went from L/T with an MS3 to stock mainfold and a 222/222 with .563/.563 lift I my car now has more low end tq or at least it feels that way.
Yes. If you go small, it will act smaller with heads. Ask mnyptZ or at least search his posts. He is inactive here now, but his cam was bigger than I even recommended, and he will tell you... Don't be shy :-)
