MS3 Cam/ Gears?
So my car is at the speed shop right now getting the MS3 Cam (Custom grind but very similar) and 3500 Stall installed
with TransGo kit and a Dyno Tune with H.P. Tuners. Problem is the car currently has 273
gears in it, I would like 410's but they would break in a 10 bolt (I've done it before on stock cam&stall on street tires) so I was thinking of using a factory setup of 342 gears
cause I can get the whole rear end for $50 if In trade mine. Will that gear combo be OK with this cam or no, I do not have the $$$ for a bigger rear end right yet.

then 4.11s
And if you can only afford the 3.42 rearend it kind of takes the guess work out.

are u buying the magic stick v.3 from tsp or from somewhere else that sales the same spec off a cam?tsp told me that on a auto to get the most out of the cam 410's is it but now for a daily driver 373's will help keep the conveter tight.so go with 373's but just remember that cam will runner better with lower gears

I have 3.73's in mine and I am pleased, but after super chevy I am gonna put in a 4.56 for the local 1/8 mile track and try to go 6.99 N/A... good cam choice by the way, and PTC can build you a hell of a 4400 converter...

I would go 4.10s and just be cognicent(spelling?) that it could break. Ive been driving around with my 10bolt with full boltons and drag radials and Mine has no signs of breaking yet...knock on wood. Just be somewhat careful. You with definately enjoy the 4.10s with that cam.

Or are 3.42s just not enough for the ms3?
