In a vette i would consider a custom with the right valve events and lobes to make big power without adverse effect of too big a cam.
TSP can grind one for ya so they still get the sale.

Since the car is a dd I would stay away from something too big. I personally ran a 232 234 in my car on stock cubes. I think the bigger cams act a little better with a great set of heads. In stead of big power you neec to look at area under the curve for a dd.

ms4 and ms3 are over rated. no offense to tsp, but they are far too big for a street cam IMO, much less a daily driver. plus, a well planned and thought out cam with as mentioned above, good valve events, will make great power without the donkey dick cam sounding car... unless you want it like that.

I would get your cam custom spec'd. Sounds like you've got a pretty serious setup already with the kooks and all. Get the most out of what you want for your goals. Like predatorz said, TSP can custom grind anything
