do you want peak or under the curve power?
Peak - MS3
Bigger power band - Torquer

the MS3 will have more up top than the Torquer. Lithium is right around that ballpark

No doubt, the MS3 makes sick power up top. And the guys at TSP are very helpful

you have to watch out for piston to valve clearance with the ms3 though. If your going with most of the aftermarket heads with different size valves then you will most likely have to flycut the pistons. So your probably better off just porting your stock heads!!!

I'm ordering the same package today with the ms3. Getting the ported ls6 oil pump and the 4.10 gear package as well. Might as well blow a good bit of my tax refund in one place. Good luck with whatever you decide on.
