Default New MS4 cam video....Nice!

So I spent my Saturday installing a cam and I am so glad that I decided to do so. The car sounds great and even though the cam is huge....It doesn't affect the drivability all that much. I do need to thank TSP for their great customer service/products and thank my buddy for helping me during the install making the process that much faster. Specs of the cam are in the video and I will be going for a tune next Saturday...at that time I'll update this thread with dyno numbers and probably more vids. But for the mean time...enjoy!

That sounds bad *** bro!! I want that cam too, but I also want the TEA or TSP 2.5 5.3L heads to go with it.........and I'll need to flycut my pistons to make that work.

So I'm going to need to wait.

Thanks man! Yea, You'll definately need to flycut if you do any heads with a valve job. I would have bought heads but I'm planning on building a big cube motor built for a blower in a little over a year from now so I didn't want to get stuck purchasing 2 sets of heads in that short period of time...

That is one wicked sounding cam!!! I have been agonizing over what cam I should purchase and now I think I have a good idea what one it will be!!!

I PM,ed you to ask you a couple of questions about the cam and install. I hope you don't mind?

Anxiously awaiting those dyno numbers and a video of a quick fly- by!!
