Default Any bigger?

Is there really any reason to go any bigger than the MS3? Just out of curiousity, you always hear of the MS4 and the all elusive T-Rex. I personally didn't want to go any bigger, but asking others opinions. Thanx

As the cams get bigger, they require more supporting mods to achieve potential. The biggest mistakes poeple make is to mismatch parts and have a dog on their hands.

Also higher lift cams like MS4, TV3, High lift Futrals, custom high lift, basicaly LSK, XFI etc... should ideally be matched to correct valvetrain components and lifters as well.

Also all these cams are high spinners, so one should be carefull to understand that stock block would benefit from rod bolt upgrade (like ARP or Katech) to increase longevity.

cars still go fast and make awesome power with small cams. It's all in the combo, and not necessarly a HUGE cam.
