btr4 vs ms4 for cam only ls1
in between btr4 and ms4 for a cam only 150 shot ls1. planning on spinning to atleast 6600 to get max effort out of either. im not an expert on cams and looking for some advice. if anyone has experience with either or both, what power did it make? a buddy has a cam only btr3 and makes somewhere around 420 wheel, from driving that i decided to go with a stage 4, but have seen good numbers from ms4 cars aswell, so what are the main differences involved with btr4's more overlap compared to ms4s more lift and higher duration? are the cam cores and lobes different?
btr4 235/242 .621"/.592" 111+3
ms4 239/242 .649"/.600" 111
thanks

How come his cam made you want stage 4? Not busting your chops here, but tons of guys go with large cams and hate their cars afterwards. Some questions you'll be asked before anyone can really help you out...
What supporting mods will you have? M6 or A4? You plan to measure PTV and pushrods right? What are your goals here (daily driver, track, etc)?

his car makes good power upstairs, I just want something more aggressive. My car is M6, supporting mods will include btr's spring kit with retainers, chromoly pushrods, and comp cams rocker arm trunion kit. My builder will take care of measuring ptv and if necessary flycutting. street/strip

3.90 is the plan. I just want a max effort cam with the 150 shot and I don't mind spinning to 6600-6900 to get the best times out of it. I've heard good things about both and have seen great numbers from both, but more people lean towards btr. Was just curious as to the advantages or disadvantages comparing the 2, since I can't find much on it on tech

What about needing new injectors? I started another thread asking if I'd be able to drive mine to the dyno after we do a cam only swap (Tick SNS Stage III) and someone suggested injectors. I don't personally think that would be necessary at around 400 to the wheels. What do you think?

That includes the MS4 as well. We use extremely valve train friendly lobes and Callies cores on all of our cams. Our cams are also the most accurate that I've seen so far. We have tested the other commonly used cams that are offered out there and ours are by far the most accurate.

Question to Texas speed. I'm also considering your MS4 cam. Do you guys have any objective data that you can present or any comparisons you can make in regards to your new cores that you grind your cams on?

I would want + 6-8* exhaust split for 150 shot with stock heads
And max effort my .02. I would do CAM MOTION Cam mentioned,
Or BTR 4 pretty close to each other really.
