for what he's looking for, his truck needs it's powerband to be mostly in the mid range for it to pull hard. his converter is plenty enough to take care of the bottom end. why have a cam that only pulls way up top when the aerodynamics have already taken over?
there is no need to explain myself anymore.
just stop reading all the hype and dyno #'s on ls1tech.

ok then explain why the RGV guys are big cammed, big gear and big converter and are probably the fastest around and making the most power? cause it works and has always worked.

CFM works yes. but not all 454 flow. plenty of small blocks flow more then the old pigblocks

This man knows his stuff. He did get his blue brick to run 12.5x NA.
With a TR220...... not a big cam at all. MS4 may work well in a camaro, but not a heavy *** truck

my only input will be if you decide to go with the MS4 dont try to use the .040 cometics. there will be piston to valve clearence issues. i think a stock mls gasket might work with the 243's and ms4.
i actually want to try the ms3 in my truck one day just as an experiment. i want to see exactly it will effect my 60' times and 1/4 times. i know the daily drivability will drop but my truck isnt exactly daily driven anymore. it will still be streetable but will have some NAAAASTY top end. the ms3 and ms4 cams are loaded with power. i wanted to try the ms4 but im not pulling my heads to do gaskets for a slightly better cam.

ever driven a Trex car? ever raced one?

you dont see any fast LS cars with low rpm bands and tiny cams.
Torque gets you going HP finishes the work.
just take a look on TSP or thunders site. see the results for the big dawg cams. then look on tech at the fastest car lists and see whos running what
if you say thats cars then look at the trucks from RGV all the big hitters are running what i just spoke of. gears, converter and big cams. its proven over and over again. racing been around for decades all fast rides run large converters, steep gears and large cams.

Bull ****. If you look and or research this, there are MULTIPLE cam only cars running low 11's with a 220/220 cam, or even a little 224/224 cam, thats with almost stock tuning, no need for large gears or any of that, plus a lot easier to drive around town. To the op, since you have the stall for it, that is a nice cam, and responds VERY well to nitrous if you run that.
I guess the large cams dont make power or good times and we all should run the small cams cause thats were the power lies.. o and on top of stock tuning.. wow i guess having a tune doesnt help either
