Pretty picky there some of you. I love top end power of my new MS4, it's sick, but I'm not too impressed with roll on mid power.

+5 for me, but I don't think I'll break my torque converter record of 13!

not to brag but, cams can be installed by anybody who is machanicully inclined and some who are willing to learn. I have done enough that I dont remember the count. back in high school "daze" I would swap cams for buddies so long they would provde BBQ and beers and course I would degree some or straight up install. then I went to college and didn't finish it then si joined navy and haven't done much except my own since. did one 2yrs ago and before that one was about 15 yrs before. was nerves since 15yrs back was the last time I did cam swap, let alone heads swap. I did it and all is well 2 yrs later ws6 is still pulling hard.....
