I helped a buddy install the same TSP kit and he gained 50 rwhp and he drives it all the time, not sure about daily. He is also a tuner and the cam idles great and the power at 4000rpm is an eye opener!

im actually looking at a new MS4 cam now since the guy who has this cam for sale is most likely going to sell it out from under me. is it worth it to upgrade from the 918 springs to the double springs. i am going to have a buddy port a set of heads i have laying around and install the springs. i plan on doing the heads, the cam and a 100 shot

Running this cam, I recommend upgrading to a dual spring setup over the 918s, esspecially if you plan to run the juice too.

I made 468/408 with MS3 and TSP's PRC Stg.1 243 heads.

Check out the dyno graph in my photo gallery.

The drivability is not that bad, then again I don't DD my Z. But I wouldn't want to be stuck in bumper to bumper traffic in it though.

Untuned with Loudmouths.
