Default ms3 install.

i found out that i have ported heads, so thats a plus.
the cam that was in the car is a comp cams xr265hr14 i think its 212/218 525/529 114lsa. car made numbers in sig with this cam and a crappy weiand intake. im thinking the ms3 is gonna work pretty well. the only thing im worried about is, i had 7.300 comp cams pushrods and tsp sent me 7.400. i hope the heads werent milled or something. although the cam is in and the engine turns over ok by hand.
