Default Just got done with a MS4 cam only install

Well we added a ms4 cam kit, pacesetter lts with ory, k&n intake, and a stock ported tb. These were the only mods added to a bone stock 01 SS. Wow I cant believe how well this car drives now. It starts killing the stocker at 3k

Here is a before and after dyno run



and an idle clip of the car

Yeah Nick tuned it. All we did was cam, lts, ported tb and an airfilter. It revs to 7k now, check out the dyno graph.

Its a great cam if u dont mind spinning your engine to over 6k rpm to reach that peak HP number. Sounds amazing too

The car drives great. It has 4.10's in it which helps a lot, but would be even better with some 4.30's or even 4.56's. This isnt my car, its a friends car. I have installed a bunch of different cams: hotcams, 220's, 224's, 23x's, and ms3's. And all I can tell you is if it were my car I would do the ms4 or trex for sure. I love the powerband and the sound is intoxicating. And all I have to say is the small cam car with the right combo better watch out for a big *** cam car with the right combo

I wasnt trying to start a pissing match between small cams and big cams. Just wanted to show some results and an idle clip

He has his shift light set at 6700 so he is probably shifting between 6800 and 6900 rpms which seems to work pretty good
