what heads you running?
stock,5.3, ls6 head milled?
If your running stock heads then all you need is some pushrods,springs, the cam and a tune. and of course the supporting mods.

If your still not sure call up texas speed and talk to them with your quastions. but if your running stock cc then you should be fine since the ms4 cam is alittle bigger and the trex cam is even bigger than that and they both fit without flycutting.

They speak the truth! Both the MS3 and MS4 were designed and thoroughly tested to be sure they cleared uncut and stock valve-size heads! For the cars who want to swueeze as much power as possible out at the track, the Magic Stick camshafts are for you!

As for related items, be sure get the bolts and gaskets you'll inevitably need to reassemble the engine. Other things to consider are our ported and shimmed LS6 oil pump, timing chain or set, and of coruse a good tune!

Let us know if we can help!

Yep I got the MS3 cam package with the hardened chromoly pushrods and double spring kit. Along with it ordered LS2 timing chain, crank bolt, LS6 ported oil pump, and Powerbond pulley with 2 belts. I then got the gaskets locally. And yes that'll work with my stock heads.
