Default Ms4 or Torquer V.3

Ok I have a budget... I can only afford the cam kit and Dynotune, I'm a TSP ***** so I really only care about these Two cams. The Ms4 and V.3 so does anyone out there have vids, dyno graphs, comments, about either of these cams. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with V.3 but I can really only afford to do this once and I always hear people wishing that they would have gone bigger. It is my Daily driver but I'm willing to deal with a lot, for the power

Yes I have done searches and found very little, and I have talked to a few people, and I know for all out power go with a cam like the Trex, and I know that the Trak is the same as the V.3, and I know that heads would give me a better numbers, and so would a 90/90 setup. But this swap will be just the cam kit and a dynotune.

I went with the V3 because for 1 I was a little concerned with the lift #'s on the V4,and 2 at this time the V3 has proven itself time and time again both on the dyno and track. I too am on a budget and was not about to experiment.

Anyone have any other track times for the torquer V.3 (TR Trak) with close to the same mods? MS4 guys come on is the cam worth the pains of driving it daily?

You sure you are talking about the torquer V3 and not the MS3?
The V3 is a relatively new cam just like the MS4.

so would the MS3 or MS4 on a 111 be a good cam for a cam only car with full exhaust? (stock heads, intake and TB)

I've got the MS4, but wit stage 2.5 LS6 heads. Driveability isn't that bad at all with a 6 spd, 335/18 Pilot sports, and 3.42's. The tune will need to be fairly good though for any of these cams to run at the best possible output.

i have the ms4, just get a good tune and it will drive fine, i had the same prob when i was deciding if the ms4 was too big to be a daily driver but so far its no prob for me you just have to get it tune right away though

How long did you run before you got your tune?

For a daily driver i would go with the torquer v.3. Basically a smaller version of the MS4 but puts out some damn good numbers. Also once you get a tune on the car the street manners should be fairly tame considering the size of the cam. Good luck with your cam selection and let us know how it goes.

Yes on the Timing chain, no on the oil pump.

Yeah that's why I can't decide, good streetmanners less power, or MORE POWER slighty worse streetmanners.
