Default TORQUER 3 or MS4

I have an 02 Z06 with longtube headers/x-pipe/vararam/GHL bullets.

Which cam should I go with Torquer 3 or MS4?

i too was gonna go with a MS4. I had it bought and ready to go and then i started to think about the fact that i don't always race my car and really wanted something with some good street manners. So i went with a 228R from TSP. i LOVE the cam and made good power with it but sometimes i wish i had went with a Torquer 3 The MS4 is a GREAT cam but it needs to be turned higher RPM's to be effective. If i build a 408 like i'm thinking of doing it might get a MS4

You need a really good tuner to get the MS4 dialed in, it can be made streetable, but it needs a good tune. TSP tuned my MS4 and I love it.

I have the v.3 in my 01 Z. Nice cam. I just got it tuned by Chuck @ COW. Runs excellent. Expect some bucking w/ any cam this size near 1200-1500 rpm.
