To each his own for sure
I run both the 1/8th and the 1/4 with this cam, and it pulls. You cannot launch it from idle though...I mean, you can't in ANY car with ANY cam really if you want to cut a good 60'...Get a clutch with some *****, take it up to 5k, and slip the clutch somewhat coming off the line and watch the front of the car wanna pull up.
I have cut 1.9 60 foots on street tires and no lauch whatsoever, just some decent feathering skills, so I know this cam will work well in any situation.

I run the MS3 in my SS and I am very well pleased with its performance. It isn't my daily driver, but it could be without issue.
Everybody has a different idea of tolerable driveability, so there is really no way to tell if you'll like it until you fire it up with the cam installed for the first time.
As previously mentioned in this thread - the tune is the key factor in determining driveability. Get a good one and you'll love it as a daily driver. Get a bad tune and you'll hate it.
Good luck!

thats to big IMO. and it limits the heads you can get due to P to V clearance. ive heard good things, and bad things bout that cam. back in texas they had a vette bend a push rod with that cam. i have 4 friends here in cali with that cam now. there pretty happy with it. i cant really speak much for that cam since i never had it. and probably wont get it. also im sure you kno the bigger and more aggressive the cam. the more often you have to change out valve springs. the cam makes good power, and can be DD my friends do it. IMO its more a cam only cam. but i think thats what you are looking for..so it could be a option for you

Dude, no offense, but you really need to do some(read: alot) of research. I would reccommend Texas Speed and Performance, whom carry both the MS3 and MS4. They have multiple other great options as well as a RPM scale to give you an idea where the cam will put you in regards to power. I studied for at LEAST a year prior to picking my cam, and Im glad I did!

I would seriously check out TSP, Thunder, and Futral. They are all very knowledgeable and I assure you at least ONE of them will have the PERFECT cam for what you are looking for!

Save your money. Go with Patriot Gold Duals. This will be the only 'easy' decision in your build. They come with tit retainers and the total kit is as much as JUST the Titanium retainers from Comp!
