from what ive read and been told cams dont really start affecting nitrous until your spraying over 175 shot so just about any of the regular proven cams and such will work great and have no ill effects due to nitrous.

BTW what shot are you looking to run and what are your goals.

MS3 cam I had in my old set up and screamed. I have always heard the ms3 cam was alot better of a cam then the ms4. My old set up went a 10.14 on a 150 shot 370ci with patriot heads stage 3 with a 4l60e tranny 3500 stall. Car ran 11.07 on NA. with that cam.

i had the ms4 in my stock bottom end ls1 with stock 243 heads and sprayed a 100 shot and went 11.4 my first pass ever. never got to spray it down the track again with that set up and a stick car. if i remember correctly thats was a 1.7 sixty foot. i loved my ms4. it pulled like a freight train in 3rd and 4th gears and i walked my buddy that had the ms3.

not a fan of either one for stock motor. i would go with the bigger spread if i had to pick. 237.242 just to try to bleed some heat off stock pistions. but these cams make peak power but not sure how they will work with a motor only runng 6200 6500 rpm. probably not huge low end power.

yeah they are both a little healthy for stock motor. when i ran the ms4 i had a 4.33 gear in my 9in to help with the cam. i loved it though. it just pulled so hard up top. i was twisting my motor around 6700 with it. to help keep in powerband. i never sprayed it on the dyno either so not sure how it did really responded to nitrous. but on the street and the one time i hit the nitrous at the track it freaked out.

yea, if you gear and converter around it, it will work, but his looks like its already set up and these wont work as well.

I didn't vote, but I'll offer my .02 - Custom grind for your setup. I'm not a fan of aggressive ramp rates and more than .600 lift on a street car.
