MS4 cam
MS4 cam I want to buy a cam for my 98 WS6. I've only seen the MS4 in cars with 6.0 blocks, but i have the stock Ls1 block. I dont know much about the cam, how is the everyday driveability? power top end or low? Any info you guys could give me would help. And i wouldnt have any problem putting it in my WS6 would i?
It was made for the LS1 at first! Its one of the biggest cam you can run on your stock LS1 without notching the pistons(depending on the setup). A lot of plp are making crazy power and with a good tune, they DDrive it. Go to the dyno section, and youll see tons of result. Thunder racing has some crazy cam too
I've heard that the MS4 can be bad in slow moving traffic. It will run low RPMs when just inching forward. Anyone know anything about this. I mean this car is my DD but there is a lot of fast f-bodies and supras my friends drive so i want to be able to keep up with them and i know the MS4 can make some good power thats what got me drawn towards it. lol

bigger is not always better.
you can make more power down low, and still pretty respectible power up top with smaller cams than the MS4.
and you're daily driver duty will thank you.
look at some of the low LSA cams with the low 23x duration and ~.600" lift....they'll make a great cam.
and your choices on heads later will be better without having to flyut the pistons.
more info on your car would help

Sorry i didnt realize that info would make a difference in this case lol. It's a 98 M6 and will have a set of Pacesetter off road headers and off road Y pipe with a borla exhaust. MTI lid. More then likely a LS6 intake manifold too....I also have spray sittin around but its not installed yet.

It's a topend cam.So stop and go traffic will be a pain in the ***. Hell I spent a week tuning ine in stopa and go Dallas traffic 2 summers ago (118 intake temps come to mind). But once it is tuned it is a fun cam. Just as is the other larger grinds out there.
I agree with teke, you don't need a big cam to make power. the ms4 is a top end cam so you won't get that power until the rpms get high. Also you'd need to get that tune right or you're going to get bucking and surging. I don't know how hard it is to tune that out on a ms4 but for a DD It's better to get something your going to be comfortable driving.
I was in the same situation as you ( wanting an ms4) I have now realized my goals. check out some other cams like the torquer2 or similar. just my .02

I have MS4 in my car, and i idles around 1000-1100 rpm and
bucks below 2000 rpm.
I have mail order tune because there are no tuners where I live :/
I dont DD the car, and I would not recommend that either.
But for full throttle, I love this cam

I never had a problem out of my A3 stalled TA. It wasn't even tuned and I still never had any issues in stop and go traffic. It was a fun cam, and definitely got alot of attention sitting at lights lol.

well since this post was brought up from awhile ago I guess ill post for future readers. I have the ms4 with all the mods in my sig below is a couple of vids of actually running the car...sorry no track times yet, the first vid im the one being taped and missed 2nd, the car i raced was also an ls1 with 3600 yank stall, ls6 intake, qtp LT'S and ORY and nitto555R 315's. The second is an lt1 on 150 shot with full exhaust and drag wheels. BTW i spun like crazy on each launch.
