i'll jump in. about to put a proton kit on my m6 ls1 gto.
i have ms3 cam
ai 241 / 219cc heads
42lb green tops
92 / 92 intake combo with fuel rails
twin disc clutch
was thinking about changing up the cam, but if the powers that
be think the ms3 cam would work well in the upper rpm ranges
with spray, i may keep it in there.

Wider lobe separations and longer exhaust durations will help out tremendously with the tuning window and performance. I would always go with a custom grind over an off the shelf if it makes sense.
I would talk to Brian (Brian Tolley Racing) and see if it would make sense with your build to switch to a custom gride or just wait until you go with a new motor or make a head change.
I would save up for some good heads, the casting and the power is a world of a difference. That afetrmarket casting will take the heat and stress a lot better than the factory casting.

And that is the key, that cam means everything. Hell, if you have bull horns or have the exhuast dumbed right after the headers. You can get some nice candles with the right cam which will tell you if you are fat or the tune up is on, not just help with performance. I like bull horns as they are great for tuning and it helps with keeping the car planted.

To avoid creating a new thread, I have heard that some shots are too 'small' for direct port. If someone were interested in getting Direct Port for its safety and tuning ability, what would be the smallest shot recommended for a H/C LS6? DO you have to spray at least 200?

Thanks for the info. I have a thread going in Internal Engine asking the same thing. I am in heavy consideration of a set of AFR 205 heads and am aiming at 11.5-11.6 compression and if I consider nitrous, I want it to be absolutely safe.
Has anyone said that you cant do it? Because if so I'd disagree 100% with that lol. If the build and everything is done right you will be totally fine at that compression on at 75-100 shot on 93
Nope, but some have brought up concerns with going too high NA and getting knock. And thats the last thing I want if I'm also considering nitrous in the future. I wanted to be sure that I might not need to lower compression or take additional precautions if I was considering the spray.

He has a stinger plate which means he's running a single plane intake manifold. You won't see the same pick up with a plastic intake as he did with a single plane, but it won't be a slouch either.
