If I ran a fast 92/92 then a big cam would be alright then right?

yes man.. you will be fine.. if i were you.. id run a used FAST 90/90.. or a ported FAST 90/90.. lot cheaper.. and will cover any of the donkey cams..

EDIT... i dont know what kind of intake works best with boost app... if its an ls6, keep your ls6 and use the ms3... the ls6 is almost enough intake for it...
if you have the extra money go with the FAST though.. then do what you have to later..

I heard you shouldn't run 90/90's or 92's with boost , I talked with TSP yesterday and they said the MS3 or a custom cam would be my best bet

I just looked at that list. not trying to argue, just pointing out that the trex cammed cars were also running a 4.56. that is definately set up for drag racing. a trex in a 3.42 rear and a trex in a 4.56 gear would be 2 completely different animals.

the difference between an ms4/4.56 gear and trex/4.56 gear would be driver. assuming other things are equal. weight, supporting mods, etc.

lemons is right. proper matching is the biggest thing.

right on... if you look a little bit after what he quoted, i gave my theory... and i believe it to be correct...

another difference between the 456/ms4 and 456/trex is the ms4 is going to be easier tuned and more streetable..

doesnt matter... just put the trex cam in it.. you NEED it.. its BIG...


sorry... i had to.. anyways..

why are you set on the trex? (im trying to get to what you want out of the car and why you chose that over "X" cam..

how much money do you have to build your project..
