MS3 Cam install straight up or advanced? Like the title says should I install this cam straight up or advanced? I will be running a 200 shot on this if that matters.
If I install it advanced do I need an adj timing chain or can I use a non adj one? Which Timing chain would you use?

If you don't advance the MS3, your dynamic compression will be horrible. Basically, it will be totally gutless NA.
When running nitrous, the motor responds to an earlier exhaust valve opening (because of the faster burn of nitrous). Here again, advancing the cam will benefit your goal of most power on the hose.

Yep, if you decide to advance it, make sure you have plenty of PtoV clearance on the Intake. It barely clears stock pistons at 0 advance, which is exactly why its made like that.
