Trex or MS3

what do u guys think would be the best for my setup...i know ill be doing dual springs also with either cam obviously. and a dyno tune from Ed.. it is a daily driver... doesnt see alot of milage around 10k a yr or so... but i want an all out set up .. my mods are listed in my sig as for the rest of the exhuast it is a bullet and dump off each header.. and the trans was just rebuilt with all the goodies..
the times in my sig were pre LT's and new trans...
TIA , Will

I would go for the ms3. It might not give quite as much peak power, but I think it makes it's power in a much more useable range. It would also have better driveability.

I set my idle at 850, but you it will run at 650 but does not sound near as good in my opinion. As far as top end goes, the trex will pull to 7200. I have not seen any people go past that.

I only have experience with the TReX. I ran it with stock heads a few months back. With tuning and gears, it made for a pretty quick ride.

I can't stress the tuning and gears enough!

With your A4 setup, the converter should work well. Look into a 3.73 or steeper gear and the car should fly!

I like the specs of the MS3 cam. Probably work ok on a daily driver.

You got a big mother of a stall. You put a t-rex in there, you are going to take off like a bat out of hell.

It's BIG, and you aren't gonna find out the specs. After the G5X2 debacle LG won't release the specs on their cams. You can PM Louis, he can get you some info about it. There is some info about it on page 4 of this thread https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-racing-results/222889-new-cam-only-record-10-64-126-a.html
