called comp cams
I called comp cams and they said I wont have a problem with this cam as long as I get double springs and new pushrods it should be fine...since it is their cam and I dont trust the people who sell their own products I am a little skeptical so....

My personal opinion: Cam is too big for the street, car will run like A$$.
There are a lot of proven cams. Not sure what you are looking for but that cam will likely be too tight on PTV (well below minimums) and with no power until 4,500 RPM or so, below that is will likely suck. Have you run the overlap numbers, etc?

That depends on your definition of "fine". With everything else stock, that cam will require at least 3.73 gears to make it marginally livable, IMO. I assume you have a 6-spd? If you want to make more usable power, then get a cam that's about 228 or so duration, preferably a 224-228 @ 112 so you can have a nice lope, which I figure is something important to you. And keep the lift under .600, unless you plan on doing much more extensive mods.

i dont have the MS4 bc its just too much cam as most of you all stated. Wether it can be tuned or not, i just dont believe it is a really good street cam. I have the 233/239 on a 113 and yes i am a 6spd
