MS3 will give you great gains and a lumpy idle.

F13 or f14 from Futral. They have really good driveability for being bigger cams even untuned, and they are a proven performer.

I'm shifting my Ron Jeremy cam at 6,800 with a 7,000 rpm redline. I'm using Manley Dual Valve Springs, Manley Seats and Manley Retainers with Futral Chromoly 7.400" Hardened Pushrods. Amazing cam, I highly recommend it.
