Default T-rex/MS4 user with spray.....already searched

I cant seem to find any info on the t-rex with at least on 150 shot to it. I would like to see dyno graphs, and track times. I am going cam-only but I plan on spraying in a few months.... I know the MS4 will do great with teh juice, but I also know the t-rex will perfrom better as a cam-only cam in my application. Thanks for any info!

It doesn't matter, either one will be fine. When you are spraying that small of a shot on, its not going to make much difference at all. Go for the one that makes the most power n/a, as that is what you are going to be driving with most of the time.

well I plan on starting out with a 150 shot, but once I get the feel for it again, I wanna jup up to a 200 and eventually be spraying a 250 dual stage. I wanna get teh car set-up to leave the line on a 75-100 shot and then kick in the 2nd stage, but the final n2o set-up will just vary depending on track tuning....

I just havent seen any results on the t-rex with spray, I did try and search but came up with nothing. I know the t-rex will be a better cam-only, but I dont think the MS4 will be performing too far behind the t-rex. TSP has told me the MS4 is great on the spray just like the MS3. The big advantage of eh MS4 over the MS3 will be the low-end pull. While racing, the low-end power wont have the chance to show the difference, but will help while driving around the city. I already know the driveablity to expect so I really dont wanna hear anyone tell me that this cant be a streetable set-up. I have a really great tuner down here in Fla., so getting the set-up tuned will be nothing short of a success.

What was you 60'? I would say I expect a combo like that to be in the 10's but you also said this was your first day driving with the bottles on the new motor... Thank!

Honestly, I don't even know if the T-Rex would be that much better than the MS4 on motor.

Who knows....I know that they both react pretty well to nitrous. They are both traditional splits.

Then when I went for my first N/A run the f'ing balancer bolt backed out and I got a nasty mess of shredded belt and steering rack to crank pulley contact. I'm going to swap a new crank pulley and ARP bolt, then fix the differential leak and try for 10's before the track boots me

Patrick G said the LSK lobes like nitrous...plus the MS4's LSA isn't as tight so that would be the better N2o cam in my opinion.

I sent him a PM about what I wanted from a cam.... asking him his opinions and suggestion and possible custom cam specs.... not sure if he will waste his time figuring all that out but we will see.....

Are there ANY other track times with an MS4 N/A? Or any LSK lobed cam for that matter? I've seen a couple TRak cam times...
