another cam question..like there isnt enough i recently got a ptc 3200 and was wondering what the best cam to run is. i wanted to get a ms3 cam but from what i read i cannot run it with this low of a stall. i told the guy that was building it i wanted a 3600 but said it wouldnt be good for the street. i told i know ppl who run 4400 on the street. i was pretty pissed. but can i run a ms3 cam or am i stuck with something like 228r.
You would need a 4000 stall to run a MS3 efficiently and need gears on top of that.
Why did you pay for something that wasn't what you wanted? A 3600 from a good company is about perfect for a street car that will see track use. A 3200 isn't bad for a daily driver either though.
I would call up Geoff at EPS or Kip at Cam Motion and tell them your goals and mods and let them spec you something. Past that, yes I would keep it in the ballpark of the 228R.
I would not run my 230/238 on that small of a converter for example. Honestly, mine could benefit from a 4000 but works fine on the 3600. Any tighter would not work at all unless it was tuned by a serious expert, which I am not.

I have 3.73 gears but you should be able to call PTC and see what it costs to have it re-stalled.
