F13 or MS3 with ETP 215 heads?
 
Alright guys. I just purchased a set of new ETP 215 with a 60cc heads at a good price. I will use a set of Cometic 0.040 head gasket. I have all the supporting bolts except a FAST 90 setup. Which I plan to install at the same time. I don't know what cam I want to run with the heads. I know I will get higher peak numbers with the MS3 and better drivability and area under the curve with the F13. I know how both the cams perform because I have run the F13 and I am currently running the MS3. This is for a 01 SS with a 4000 stall, 3:73s, true duals, blah, blah, blah. I like the way both cams perform and drive. Which would you run and why?

If you already have the MS3 in there, I'd just leave it. You already have a 4k stall and gears, so having a slightly more peaky cam won't really impact you negatively. You'll still have those few extra ponies up top though.

Ms3...

you have already spent good money on your setup, do yourself a favor and get a custom cam ground for you to take max advantage of those heads. I hear Ed Curtis (EDC) is doing wonders with the ETP heads and his custom grinds

Good point. I though about it and might do a little more research on that. I don't think I want to run a MS4 due to the high lift and LSK lobes. That cam will go through springs like no other and produce more valvetrain heat. That might be a little too much. Thanks for all the input and please keep it coming. So far I might stick with the MS3 or get a custom grind.

Actually I have been doing some reading on FlowTech Induction (EDC) and I am impressed with the numbers their custom cams are putting down. I going to talk to them about what I want out of a cam. I hope to lay down some sick numbers in an A4.
