It depends on what cubic inches you have. I have used the ms3 and made great power. I also have used a custom grind 229/229 .589/.589 113lsa and made 2 more rwhp. I feel the ms cams are a little too big. but just my opinion.

What are you looking for? Might make a couple more HP up high, but might also lose some low end and some driveability. Is it a race car or street car?

If i was ever to take ou tmy MS3 it would be to switch over to a custom cam. You'll find that a cam spec'd to what you want will make you happier than something off the shelf.
