Oh and The ms3 PEAK power may actually only be 15rwhp at the most over these cams. So are you wanting 15 more hp at 6500-7000rpms or 20 more rwhp at 3000-4500?

Im in the same boat you are. The less duration you go with you are actually going to utilize your power. when you go with a MS3 you are going to need to spin to 7k+ rpms to make power to move your truck vs. a fbody.

AT THE MOST TSP 233/239.

i plan on building it to withold atleast 7k but i dont wanna have to wrap out 7k to beat some choad in a mustang or something, i got to have room to sandbag

Im in a similiar boat. I want the 231/237 TSP cam. But i think im gonna go with somethign like 226-228/230-234 probably .590's lift and as soon as I find the overlap formula gonna be aiming at 110 lsa.

Reddevl why not go any lower then 114 on the LSA?

well having a stall wont change the power it makes at certain rpms

it will just kind of skip or bypass the "dead zone" as i like to call it :LOL:
