Def go with a dual valve springs, chromoly pushrods, titanium retainers. If the car has over 70k I would replace the timing chain too. Either an LS2 chain or a double roller. And when its all said and done, get a DYNO TUNE, you cant bet it. You'll love the MS3, my friend has one, its a beast!

Double roller is going to be stronger. Some say its overkill but I went with it myself. LS2 is good chain as well, cheap as hell also.

I would def. do the timing chain. I went with the C5R timimg chain and it works great. Your gonna love the cam as long as you do the tuning. Is it gonna be a daily driver?

Yeah im pretty sure that i will love this cam, i have heard so many good things about it so far, im going to do the tuning for sure, i also heard it is good to go with 4.10 gears for low end torque, is this true? if i do gears im not sure how long my 10 bolt would last

Yeah, gears sound like a must for this cam...well low end power atleast. I am going to run stock gears for now myself. I also believe TRMIN8R is on stock gears.

I Just got through switching from a Hotcam with ORY and Hooker catback to a MS3 and 3" true duals.

It is sick. My 6500 rev limiter gets bumped easy because its pulling like a **** at 6500.

I can roll into WOT in 2nd not spinning and when the rpms get up there it will just start hazing the tires and wont stop till half way through 3rd.

It's a great cam. probobly wont notice a big difference between a 114 and 113 cam.
I have mine tuned pretty close now and it drives great with stock 3.42s. Deffinatley needs steeper gears though, not much power below 3500.
