stock heads will be fine with the MS4 if you really wanted to have that cam. (change springs, retainers etc of course), you would still make pretty good power with that cam you have though, but if you want big, then i guess go with the ms4...but why not get like a F-14 thats in the middle and makes awesome power...its not always great getting the biggest cam...

Trex and G5X4 are both bigger cams. And you probably said the best option: custom grind.

I'm not ragging on the MS4 choice. Just odd that you chose it when it doesn't match the reason you claimed.

the reason y i lean more towards the ms4 is cause alot of what i read wherever i go people are choosing the ms4 over the trex or the g5x4 and i was kinda leanin more towards highway racing (always traveling on 95) and i thought that high end would def help maybe im fucked up but thats y im kinda askin around here im gonna call comp i think thanks for the advice on that but still open to suggestion

Trex is much more of a top end cam, great for highway racing.
Oh and Comp's tech line sucks. They're gonna be of no help. Many of us have had bad experiences.

I'd just research on this board and decide what specs you need if I were you.

If you insist on going custom and having someone else design it for you, I'd hit the link in Patrick G's signature, or contact Thunder Racing directly. Or call Futral. I've heard nothing but good things about those companies and their choices on cam specs.
