another angle to look at it...when i'm racing my truck is only below 5100-5200rpm for about 1.5 seconds, if that long...the rest of the run is spent between 5200 and 7000 rpm. a big converter/matched gears gets you out of the hole, then that big cam keeps pulling from 5k to 7k which is where i spend all of my time in 2nd and 3rd gear. so from about 30mph to 110 i am above 5200 the ENTIRE TIME... true drivability wont be as nice but still streetable in every aspect. in my case my truck is just a toy now so it wont bother me much. i think i just talked myself into a testing a MS3 here soon. it cant hurt to try. i may like it
i always wanted a choppier idle. i know that one will do it hahahaha.

so now your saying a hypercrap is superior and allowed for cam changes and etc?
dude if you have a large cam you just leave a higher rpm. a power band that starts at 4k is easy to race. with a manual you leave high anyways so your point is invalid. plus in a race with a manual youll never be lower then 5 anyways. even in an auto never under 5k with a cam like stated. what you just stated comes down to driving!!! if someoen has no clue how to drive he or she can have 800hp but dont have clue how to make vehicle respond the vehicle wont do anything

"We were running 11s on motor back in 1999 with 221/221 cams, full weight cars with zero weight reduction, on drag radials, HYPERTECH TUNING, with ported heads that didn't even clear 300 cfm. It is sad to see how many cars today run slower than that and have HUGE cams and crappy drivability.
Time to quit dyno racing and spend more time at the track."
"Toxic -- that 224 is actually the C2 cam. Which ran 10's with the car properly set-up (N/A no less).....a LONG time ago."
