I am swapping to a TH350 this winter. Will this cam work well for me?
The cam would work great with your setup, its hard to tell if it will clear or not with a 60cc chamber and those pistons. It will clear with stock PTV, the only way to know if your setup will clear is to actually put the cam in and check PTV.

My car is a street car, but at the same time far from it, and I put on 3k miles a week, so I guess I should be happy with what i have.

2000, maybe you can sell it on here and order the MS4?

I'm sure there are probably still alot of people who don't want the big lift and like what the ms3 has to offer! Waiting always sucks though haha

All of you guys that are asking about nitrous, you're running above a 150 shot? I'm sure u can guess where I'm going with that.

I would consider it IF I had the money to do the swap/tune and upgrade my rod bolts. I've had my MS3 in my Z (daily driver/only car) for a year and a half but I want more lope, more top end and ability to use the top end (hence the rod bolts). With the tighter LSA it might even come on earlier than the MS3.

If you are considering a cam like this for a daily driver I say go for it, so long as you get a GOOD hands on tune and don't mind changing springs after 15-20k miles.

PS: With the right tool spring swap is a piece of cake that could be done in one afternoon/evening.

You can run N2O with any cam. A certain cam is not gonig to prevent you from using the juice. A N2O specific cam will gain more on the bottle, but a N/A cam will still respond well to using N2O.
