MS4, T-rex, MS3 I am having a hard time picking a cam out of these three (MS4, T-rex, MS3).
I will have full bolt ons with 90/90 setup, yank pt4000 stall, 3.73 with true duals. This car will not the see the track that much if at all. What cam would you use. I have no problem adjusting to cams.
thanks everyone for your opinion.

If you are set on these I would say MS4.
T-Rex is a drag cam, MS3/MS4 are more like Extreme street/strip, one good candidate you might want to consider is the Torquer V3 (231/234), since you mentionned you might not really see track. IMO that is what I would go for on a 111LSA

Go for the ms4. I am going to be switching to that cam from my tsp 231/237. it is supposed to be more streetable than the ms3 and put out better midrange and more peak. It is the upgraded and updated version of the ms3. You might also want to consider the torquer v3
But with your stall and the gears i saw go for the ms4.

It's a tough call between the Trex and the MS4 in your listed cams. I like the idea of a G5X4, or even a G5X3. Almost the same cam as the MS3. Not that any are bad, but I've seen a lot of good running LG cams, even one guy's G5X3 making 417 with stock heads.
You could always base it upon where the cams make most of their power with a setup similar to yours, so you can make your own decision. I remember in one of rickyracer25's threads, Patrick G said the Trex makes more down low than the MS3, I think.

why not considering Futral cams? F14 high lift seems also as a good choice to. also the Torquer V.3 on 111lsa as predetor mentioned is really a good cam and a frend of mine is doing a 423rwhp through M6 and full boltons. MS4, T-rex...etc all those big cams requires spining the motor high and r like a dog down low and u dont want that on a street car.
It is just me but for mostly a street application I wont go more than 234 on the duration side.
If this was a track car the T-rex would show a beter power under the curve than the Ms3& Ms4, but the ms3, ms4 need to spin higher in order to acheive similar results of the T-rex.

But the biggest question is why limit it to these 3 cams when there are lots of equal or better cams out there?
See if this helps:

I say MS4. I've got it, my car is a M6 but with stock gears and it drives fine on the street no problems at all. With your stall and gears you should have no problems with. I'm very happy with this cam. Power wise my car is night and day different from stock, I didn't expect this much from only a cam swap.
