Either cam would be a good choice. You planning on gettin it from Texas Speed? The ms3 is a good cam, but so is the torquer. Personally, I would go with a little bit smaller cam and a good set of heads, more under the curve power, or just use one of those cams with some heads.

I only have bolt-ons for now, I have a lid, maf, p/p tb, 3" catback with cutout, and no cats. I have basically a full hooker exhaust,that I haven't put on yet. Lt headers, 3" y-pipe, hooker aerochamber muffler, and the exhaust tips from hooker as well. I am just gonna replcae the muffler on the exhaust that I have now and the tips.

I have some pretty big plans for it, so that's pretty much why it has just been tho bolt-ons for a while now, saving the money.

I would like to get a stroker kit for it, 383, and get the h/c to match for a lower compression motor for boost. I kinda want a procharger, or a turbo setup, and then a 9' rear with 3.73s, a lvl3 trans with a vig 3600, and then suspension work.

But for now seeing as how it is my dd, I may just put a small cam in it and about a yank 3200 or so, and call it good until I get all the money I will need saved up. I have started working on the saving, but that's alot of money lol.

Yeah, I got the super comps, ceramic coated. A 12.5 is nice man, I've never gotten down to a track, but I know my car runs strong. I'm shootin to get it into the mid 12's just for dd duty, and then when I get a new dd, put it in the garage and seriously go to work.

I'm from north central texas, about 45 minutes from Wichita Falls if you know where that is.
