I'm running the MS3 and 3.42s, and while it is nasty from a roll, getting off of a stoplight is stressful on the drivetrain.
I'll be going with a 9"/4.11 setup in the upcoming weeks.

(i.e. having cats) The SLP headers can be ordered from LS1Speed.com with cats, y pipe, and install kit for 1200 bucks. seems like a pretty good deal to me. If I lived in a state where no emissions were needed, I'd definately go with some hookers or QTP headers with dual dynomax resonators and axle dumps.

i just put the MS3 in my car. i havent got to crank it up yet the springs are being put on as we speak. but i was wondering how much of a lope this cam has.i have seen th trrm8ter video. but i know its different in person. how is it compared to the F14? also i did the LS6 intake swap to and Jeff at CAM is going to do the tune and everybody is saying 410-420rwhp is that true?

I have been also considering the MS3, and driving it to RevExtreme for a Dynotune. But still using my 3.42s for now. When i do get the money for a rear end i was considering a 12-bolt because i want to keep my ABS and TCS. And going with a 4.30 or maybe even a 4.56 considering lately i have been looking at alot of all motor set-ups, unlike before i was looking at maybe nitrous or turbo set-up.

I am planning on doing the MS3 as well. It seems like it is alot more streetable than other cams of its size and makes alot of power up top..
(Everyone races from a roll out here...)
I also already have the 4.10s which IMO is the only way to go on an M6 car.

Good power and sound, but they hang wayyyyyy too low.
There's also a 233/239 (I thought it was by TSP...) that someone recommended to me for great power range, but I haven't decided. I was looking at the two cams in the original post plus the F14... I don't have to decide until the heads are done and we see the flow numbers. I think they'll all make great top end numbers, but I want a good tall (400's), smooth torque curve.

Another vote for the MS3. I have had mine for over a year just be ready to switch out some springs. I have been through 3 sets of patriot .650 dual since the install. Drives good, and pulls all the way after stall point. But i'm a th400/ 4000stall.

3 sets of springs is insane.
something is wrong, IMO.
yeah, you will want it.

another vote for the tsp 231/237. I have 3.73's and I like that better than 4.10's. Just replace all the usual parts and get a good tune. I dont know much about the MS3 other than for a street car I think you will miss the low end tq, I know even with my cam I wish I had more low end tq. You could always look into the F13, its similiar but with better low end and mid range.
