Just remember: Setting the record straight is not repeating the advertised info. It would be measuring the actual measurements and telling them. No offense, but after running internet business for a couple of years, I know that any company's info is biased. It's impossible for it to not be. That's not a cut on any company. ALL companies are that way. It's the nature of human self-preservation.

cntlse 1 - I'm breaking in rings and a new clutch. I hope to get to the track b4 they close for the winter break. I'll post results soon.

N4cer - I understand your point, and it is well taken.

thanks

TSP make the new MS4 better than a MS3 and I'm running an MS3 for 1 year now in my M6, drivability was very good, and the power was amazing!!!! I love that cam. The drivability was good with a 3.42 but better with my 4.10. I think MS4 is the way to go...

thanks for all the input guys...i'll be running a 4:10 gear with this cam to help with the streetability.. What do you guys think a safe PTV clearance would be for a cam like the ms4 on the intake and exhaust? now that we got the ms4 and ms3 pretty much covered id love to hear from a few TREX guys...

Safe numbers are generally accepted for all cams at:
intake - 0.080"
exhaust - 0.100"

K I was a little outta hand , I love you KONG! and N4cer I said that outta of anger yeah I know that. In all fairness a well set-up car in the 4?? rwhp range can run 10's

I really don't see running 4.10's helping that much in terms of streetability, I would love to run a T-rex, and get to a track. The track is closed and nobody has a Rex in Amarillo

Oh I know you did. But seriously a car with my mods and minimal suspension mods and an M6 that takes a full second to get from gear to gear, added with a non-driving fool like me will never go below 12.0.
