Lightbulb bigger cam than "MS3" without fly cutting

i was wondering if anyone was running a bigger cam than a TSP Magic Stick v.3 ("MS3") Camshaft: 237/242, .603"/.609", 113 LSA with stock heads on a stock bottom end without flycutting the pistons? seems like it is the biggest but i could be wrong.

Juggernaut (G5x4) is bigger so they say.

He said without flycutting. I believe the Trex requires a little notch and if the the G5x3 112 requires flycutting I am sure the Juggernaut does.

t-rex doesn't. It's right at about .080 p to v clearance. Im not sure about the juggernaut. And you can run the x3 on 112 w/o you are just pushing the envelope of what's safe.

why not just get the MS3? Makes great power and should work some good 1/4 mile times at the strip.

I know the g5x3 will fit on a 114 but not a 112 as told by lou @ LGs the g5x4 will require flycutting. Also depends on gaskets used. Im going to be running a g5x3 cam and AFR 205s and do not have to flycut. Hope that helps a little.

The x3 112 does not require cutting on stock heads, stock valves, same with the X4 ( Juggernaut) Lift is 605+ on the X4.

Any deviation from stock parts will result in the need for flycutting.
