Funny, I guess his custom grind in his 408 sounds exactly like the X1 in my stock longblock.

IMHO those huge cams like the MS4 are major overkill unless you have some really nice heads to work with them. That MS4 will make some great peak numbers but the area under the curve will suck and you'll need a 4.10 gear with that cam too.

Mine's on a 112 and it's got a nice lopey idle but drives just like it did stock, I love it. Also the reverse split gives it plenty of torque down low and works great with stock heads and intake as long as you have a really good exhaust system.

Keep it...That is a much underrated cam. I had one, then went bigger...and slower...

My X1 with kooks 1 7/8 inch headers gave me 414HP 404 torque...find me another cam with that torque...

I am curious to see what Ed comes up with. He is a very respected cam designer in the LS world so I am sure you will be very happy. Good luck.
