It sounds like you are saying two things simultaneously. First you say the X3 and MS4 aren't far apart, then you say the X4 is closer to the MS4 and the X3 is a bebe.

....

x3 - ms4 = "not far apart"

x4 - ms4 = "closer"

see where i'm going with this?

and the last statement in my post was for humor purposes only, hence the

G5X-3
234/242 112LSA, 14 degrees of overlap at .050"

MS4
239/242 111LSA 18.5 degrees of overlap at .050".

That 4.5 degrees of overlap difference is bigger than you might think. FWIW, a 239 LSK lobe will actually come in closer to 240-241 in duration so the real world overlap is probably closer to 20 degrees.

P to V will be quite a bit tighter with the MS4 than the G5X-3. Think T-Rex tight! Remember, LSK lobes are slower from .006 to .050" and also remember that the 239 lobe is really closer to 240-241 at .050". That makes the duration at .006" around 291 or 292. The duration at .006" for a T-Rex is 291.

whats the intake centerline on the MS4? 110?

DCR with stock heads would be 7.58

you'd need a scr of ~11.67 to get a DCR of ~8.5


looks like I'd be doing heads if I get this cam for an upcoming project
