Guys let me help clear up some confusion in this thread.

The ms4 requires no piston modifications with the stage 1 ls6 head. The stage 1 ls6 head actually has a little bit better than stock p/v even with the chambers set at 62cc!!

The stage 2.5 ls6 & stage 2.5 5.3l head will not clear the Magic Stick 4 camshaft. The MS4 is just a little bit to tight for comfort. I'm working on a solution for that, but you guys are going to have to give me some extra time!

From a spring life standpoint I've seen springs with 50k miles on LSk lobes that still held pressures pretty well. I'd say shoot for swapping springs ever 40k miles or so & you should be in great shape!

i like the sounds of that! but i wouldnt do only cam, id do the heads and intake to hopefully

it seems like every one here is worried that the MS4 is too big and wont make as good of power as maybe a smaller cam would

wouldnt it be better to get gears as well im no expert but i thought about getting a t-rex cam but allot people said that without gears i wondent gain *** much power as if i were to go with a smaller cam and my car is a DD and ive never driven a camed car so multiple people said to go with a smaller cam get used to that and save money for gears then go with a t-rex so now ive decide to go with the tsp t2 cam
