that cam will put you well over the 400 mark if you have the supporting bolt ons. only problem is piston to valve clearance with those heads. not sure if it will fit without fly-cutting.

What he said ^, you should call TSP and tell them the heads you got and what valves your running to see if they will work with the MS3. I am at 386rwhp with just intake(LS1 not the LS6) , headers, and exhaust. And it all depends on if yoru car is an M6 or an A4, and what gears your planning on running.

Is going to be a t-56. And its going in a 240sx. I am also doing a light weight flywheeland drive shaft. What would be a good clutch to hold 400+? Spec stage 3?

I went with the ms3 and the 5.3L heads from TSP. Put me well over the 400 mark with stock intake so far.
