TREX and MS4 are good examples. Chumma created a custom cam for a guy on here that fit without flycutting and its bigger than both the Ms4 or the TREX. Its like 245/250.

+1 for T-rex and MS4.

If I'm not mistaking I think they were both designed to be used with stock heads with no flycutting.

TREX V2 is about as big as you can go with stock heads, and have an effective power band. TREX was designed to be used with stock heads and does very well, but its also excellent with ported heads if you ever decide to do a head swap.

It should fit the stock unmilled 243's just the same as 853's and 241s. The valve size is the same, chamber size is smaller but that won't affect the PtoV clearance. Pretty much all these cams listed clear, but most don't clear by safe margins. Honestly I don't understand the big cam craze around here.

For those with confusion akin to BigKap94z here is an answer: then you too can walk away from a 510 hp 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder on the highway

My very good friend bought one new 4 months ago and I walk him N A S T Y every week we roll (on motor BTW)

With the proper combination of parts and proper driving, a good big-cam/heads set-up can be devastating
