Depends, do you want to pass the sniffer test? If so that will limit your cam size. Do you plan on using it as daily driver and how much "loping" can you tollerate?

There are several guys running the MS3 with headers getting anywhere from 418rwhp to 430rwhp without new heads. New heads should get you over 450rwhp.

Do a search on MS3 and G5X3 and you can read about what they're doing. I didn't see anybody doing an MS4.

I have the MS3 in my car. I have it tuned for the Nitrous so on the motor its only at . But the car gets just as good as fuel mileage as it did stock. The car sounds incredible. I don't know what the MS4 would do for it but I am completely happy with my MS3.. Hope this helps. My numbers are in my sig.

Do you still have a stock exhaust set up? Most people put on long tubes and an intake first then go with a cam.
