A friend has just the MS3 and LS6 intake on his 2000 C5 and he put down 413hp/373tq. However its pretty lumpy down low and WILL require significant tuning to get it to run straight (some tuners can't tune this cam for drivability!). I went with a little milder G5X1 comp grind 228/232 becuase I wanted more drivability and torque under the curve.

Yeah my car with the MS3 is really lumpy I love it. Almost all the power is up top however. I am sure that if I threw on some new heads it would make a lot better numbers but I am happy the way it is now, everyone knows there is a cam in it when you hear it.

From what I have read at LS1tech...No.
Personally, I believe them both to be a poor cam choice unless you are just looking for lope to impress your buddies in the parking lot. I'd rather have a cam that made good drivabilty, strong midrange, and strong power.

I agree the MS4 as far as I can tell is a higher HP cam too. Like said above I chose the MS3 cam for good power gains and I loved the lope it makes on the 113LSA. I was not out looking for the fastest set up or I would have done heads too but I am happy with my 416rwhp on a mustang dyno.
