My 2005 currently has the MS4 installed. I hate the low rpm surge and bucking, but I like the lope. What would be a better cam for drivability with a little lope?

Thanks for any input.

LOL......almost every cam made!

Seriously though, I would call someone like Cam Motion regarding your goals.....but off the cuff, their Stage-3 cam will lope, provide very good power and will be a LOT more driveable than the MS4.

Best of luck!

Thank you for the information. The low end surge and bucking drives me crazy. What I read about the MS4 is its a max effort cam, which is definitely not my intention on a regular basis. This car is for fun with the wife and the occasional weekend street race.

Pat G or someone to custom spec you a cam for your application. Keep overlap <5 and no issues with bucking.
