I say the MS4 since its smaller and allows more room for your valves to float...just incase that is.

trex is about as far as i would go with a stock shortblock motor, the problem here is that to make a cam that size run the best the person using it would need to optimize it with the best of aftermarket parts, i doubt that Eric is capable of doing so. i mean you can make a car run good with some cheap headers and a scrap converter, but it's going to leave a lot on the table.

what headers are you running? what intake? what pulley? you DON'T have the best parts unless you're running some 1.875" kooks, a fast 90/90, and one of the higher end harmonic balancers, and especially the $1000 converter like a yank. unless you have those items in my opinion you will be leaving a lot on the table.

IF your car is a daily driver i would say dont buy either of these cams. They are huge and your car is an automatic. Even with tuning the car is still gonna be annoying to drive around town. Get a more middle sized cam like the torquer2 or something, youd probably be happier with a car that isnt a pain in the *** to drive but still makes damn good power.

232/236 .575/.579 on a 111 is a good cam, put one in a buddy's car and made 405/395 untuned with an LS1 manifold and hookers.
