Lost again need some suggestions
No I dont but I know as high as my limiter went when I broke my shift **** and missed 2nd went last night that it will got the rpm you suggest. I am going to call TSP today and ask them I was planning on spraying in the future as well and I just got my 42lb svo injectors in this week. I appreciate your suggestions and help!
Yep that cam is supposed to be ran to 6700rpm bc it doesn't even peak until 6400.. I think you chose the wrong cam buddy, and also you need to get some gears, that will wake that damn car up. Also dont race with people in your car especially 3 
.. Figuring they weigh 150 a piece thats right at half a sec slower that what you should be running. All you did was found out what cam made the most power, and didn't think about your goals, or even how high you could turn the car. IMO, you just have a bad setup unless your planning on getting gears and rod bolts anytime soon.

Don't buy a 9" or 12 bolt till the 10 breaks. Get better at driving and take some of the advice given to ya bro. Ya should have bought a smaller cam like a nice TR 224, or something in that range. What are your plans with the car too?? That makes a world of a difference. Try to plan your mods, and be honest with what you're going to do with the car. Take care-
I can't appreciate the advice enough thats why I love this site. To be honest this is the first f-body i have began to rebuild out of the 4 I've owned. I was setting my car up for a great street/strip car and I dont want to hear how about driveablilty issues with a big cam sux. I only have a mail order tune and driveability is NO issue.
I was setting the car up to run n2o and for off the shelf cams I read all about the ms cams loving the spray. I took all the proper valve train precautions at most with the current motor I would run 150 shot. I know i can get a custom spec from predatorz or patrick g, but I know I can get my set up to work with everyones help. I just need a lot more practice in an m6 car, and I know the 224 cams are awesome and proven cams I just didnt want to go that route. Once this set up fails my intentions were a 408 swap, but I still want to run the living daylights out of the set up i have now. I'm not sure if its worth tearing everything apart to replace the rod bolts I've heard so many back and forth comments on it

Alright guys I went out last night with a few local guys and since my car seems to be the "new ride" out this year, tons of people want to run me. Well another buddy of mine has a basically stock z28 with just a fuddle 3600 stall, 3.73's, exhaust, lid, and cut out. Then you can see my sig below even being cammed.
We had 3 runs also I had 3 people total in my car(M6) and he was by himself. I still have stock 3.42 gears and only a mail order tune at the moment. Ok we did 3 honks first run I missed 2nd just shut down right away. Second run he got a slight jump and beat me by about a half a car. Third run pretty much the same outcome and I noticed I slowly start to reel him in but we shut down before I get to pass him. What I can't figure out is with my mods I should be around 400rwhp give or take some and hes pretty much stock with stall. Is this a normal outcome or what the hell is going wrong here?

I would not spray that car espically with a mail order tune and that big of a cam. Your best bet is to spend the money on a tune before anything else. I bet that the 10 bolt will even hang on for quite a bit while longer they are not as horrible as everyone makes them sound.

You're shifting @ 6200......? 
You need to be shifting that car @ 6700-6800 with that cam to keep it in the power band dude... Get yourself a REAL tune, stop racing with extra people in your car and run that bitch out to 67-6800! You don't NEED gears, just learn how to use your stock gearing to your advantage. Also, do you have an LS1 intake or LS6? That would be a big limiting factor as well because a cam like the MS4 really starts to shine in the upper R's where the LS1 chokes off and the LS6 starts to shine.
