whats the best cam for me?
whats the best cam for me? ok so i have a 1999ss , i had the car for 3 months now so far my mods are cai, long tube headers cated y pipe, now im trying to decide a cam, i have narrow it to three cam, f13 cam, 224, and the ms4, i drive my car daily i have been doing research and it looks like its a daily driven car i should get the f13 cam, my ? is how much hp difference is the f13 compare to the ms4 is it a big diff? plus i heard that f13 cam takes forever to be deliver if you order it from that webzite forgot the name is this true?? anyway what do you think is a good cam for me i would appreciate your opinion
Few things you might want to add auto/6speed stock converter and or gears?
How rowder and how much power do you want out of your daily?
224 what? most 224 sized cams are great cams I like them alot. I've yet to read much on the MS4 but from the MS3 #s i'm betting it'll also be a great camshaft. F13s are nice too

F13 will probably be your best bet, the MS4 could be used in a daily driver if your tolerances are pretty high. But the F13 probably has the power band in a more usable location in the RPM's for a daily driver than the MS4. Especially since your on stock gears.
LSA's of the cams will also make a difference in the powerbands of the cams listed, so make sure you look into that as well before you purchase one.

Those are completely different cams. You havn't done any "narrowing down" if a TR224 and the MS4 are two of the three choices remaining.
Do you have a lid yet? LS6 intake? Underdrive pulley?
Do not run an MS4 with stock gears. If you are going to keep the stock rear end and gears I wouldn't go any bigger than the FM13....tops.
The MS4 will make more upper RPM power than the F13. They are pretty different cams.
Search and read the stickies.

What condition is your clutch in?
Do you know how fragile our stock ten bolt rear ends are?
Do you plan to run it at the track?
my clutch is in good condition, i do plan on running it on the track but its going to be mostly a street car i do have the lid, after i get a cam im prolly going to get a clutch and gears just to be safe
