I like TSP V2 so i believe V3 should be similer and they said its even better than V2.

But when it comes to aggressive sound very few can compete with MS4 cam.

Most cammed cars should have springs replaced every 15-25k miles. With the MS4, probably every 12k. The MS4 really wouldn't be any fun at all on the street unless on the gas 100% ALL THE TIME.

You convinced me, going to go with a g5x2 112lsa and a 2800 torque converter. The guy at lg motorsports said that would retain stock driveaility but I feel the power when I got on it, also he said I only have to change the springs once every 25k miles. Which should be about every 3-3.5 years.

I think you will be very happy with your choice. I have a 224/230 .585/.595 113 LSA and a Yank 2800 converter. It is a DD and I love it. I added this to the 3:42 gears I had and...

1st = smoke city.
Shift to 2nd: will get out of control fast if you don't mange your right ankle.
Shift to 3rd: If I press it hard, the tires will bark a little.

It's wicked fun. Enjoy!

FYI - If you don't like the chop/lope, go with the 114 LSA

Truhfully as dumb as it sounds the chop/lope is what is pushing me into getting a cam, the power won't hurt either I have the stock gears in my 02 a4 so I'm hoping to not have to worry much about going sideways in 2nd.

I understand. For $5K of motor work, I want to hear and feel it at idle.

Not dumb at all. It's the reason I want a Harley!
