Wow. I am surprised how many votes are for the MS3. Looks like we need a T-Rex vs. MS3 cam only shootout!

Yea the shootout could happen..
The MS3 guys might loose a few but maybe not.
But the MS3 guys will be able to drive home and T-Rex cars can go back on the trailor....

haha j/k

BTW: Not to be too much of a spelling ****, but it's lose, not loose.

A shootout would be interesting but with two different cars they could have the same cam and run differently.

I still think the T-Rex is impressive for its ability to make HP on stock heads, also if your looking at a pure track shootout then the T-Rex I think should be favored.

One thing that I didn't see brought up is track conditions. Temp, humidity, and altitude should play a big factor in that too. If the best times are compared/contrasted by all other factors, one car may have been running on a nice 75 degree day, where the other was on a hot, humid day (since the TSP car only ran three passes, I think that's what they said anyway).

WSell one was at -1000 DA and the other was at -1100 DA so conditions were pretty damn close. 60's were only .04 off too.

The list also doesnt mention the temperatures.Trying to use that list to base which cam is better is very inaccurate.None of the cars have the same mods and who knows what all of the conditions where for each run.

Que? DA is conditions. 60' demonstrates track prep, DA gives you temp, pres., due point, altitude all in one. What else do you need?

Yeah. And most guys near the top of the "cam only" list have pretty much all the same mods.

Not sure what i was thinking when i missed the DA LoL.But all the cars in the top are 6 speeds and 3 speed autos and the only ms3 car is a 4 speed auto.Either way i've already said it both cams are great and if matched correctly with a good setup will move out.

I agree. I can't wait to see what SUX2BU does with the rex. I am already impressed with Rodney, having an M6 car myself.

I doubt it would fit under stock heads and pistons.

i'd say T-rex and G5X4 would performe much better than MS3 on the track but MS3 seems to be more driveability than else but put them all on the TRACK T-rex hand down

peace

I voted for the MS3 but honestly, assuming the cars are otherwise equal and the Rex car has all necessary supporting modifications I would expect it to win. Not by a lot though.

Given two seperate cars anything could happen. You could even potentially get two cars, run them, switch cams, tune, run again and have the same car win.
