Why don't you want a torque monster?

A few of my friends have suggested an MS4 but I think that's going to be overkill for me and I don't want to rev the engine that high to obtain all the power. I think the max I'll spin my engine to is 6500-6600
The MS4 puts out a nice flat torque curve and you definately don't have to rev that cam that high. The MS3 was the top end cam. The MS4 is more street friendly. More low end.

big cams dont coinside with safe PTV calculations... the accepted ranges (ie. TREX, MS3 MS3 G5X3 G5X4 and the like)

IMO stay away from those cams

those bigger cams put out a little more peak HP but typically lack through out the rest of the curve... where it matters for most of us on the street
so since your not building a drag car........ dont waste your time and $$$ bc u will change it

I just don't feel that what I use the car for warrants a shitload of torque.
