And as somebody else mentioned the MS4 will certainly take well to the bottle, to a point. It is relatively similer to the MS3, which loves it, and maintains the strong traditional split that nitrous likes. Only possible issue I see is the increased overlap losing some of it out the back end, but until you get into large shots (200hp) any and every cam should work just fine.

Just because you CAN run nitrous with any cam doesn't mean that you should. Some cams don't get as much from using it. I was wanting to hear what Texas Speed has to say and if they've tested the cam with nitrous. The Ms3 definitely likes nitrous, and I want to see if this one will be the same, or more for cam only setups such as the T-Rex.

When I called TSP to ask them for a good n20 cam for my darton 420ci they suggested the Texas Giant which I then purchased.

I think I was talking to... Jason? He said LS1's seem to like a 4 - 6 split in the duration for the best results on nitrous. This split is only 3, but who knows maybe they found something esle out.

The TRex is not just a great cam only cam. It will work great with nitrous on the street (under 200 shot) and will respond great to a good set of heads and intake.

On a side note, I want to see a dyno with the MS4 and there PRC CNC LS6 street head (bumped up compression, flycut pistons)!!! *wink wink* TSP!

If you don't plan on running a big shot, being a 300 plus shot, why worry about how a cam will react to nitrous, considering you will be off the bottle like 90% of the time. Any cam will respond well to nitrous, even the stock one.

It's made for stock cubes. If you already have the TRex in there you should be fine as long as you did the TRex install right.
Dual springs, pushrods, oil pump, timing chain and you're set.
