On the last question, I have no idea. It hits pretty hard. I have the idle set at 900. Gets a few looks at stop lights.

Here's a thread with an MS3 Sound Clip if you would like to get an idea of what it will sound like.

I think I just changed my choice of cam

I was going to get the 224/224 but why not go big? Especially since its not going to be a daily driver much longer anyways.....

Umm. You have 13.5 degrees of overlap with that cam, that thing should do alot more than slightly shake!

Re: nasty shake at the stop light

Would a smaller cam with the same LSA sound like that one. I was thinkin something like a 230/230 or something in that area with a 113 or 114 LSA but i'm not sure how a 113 LSA is gonna work out......i'm not even sure what it is that i'm askin. Its gonna be a daily driver but i want it to sound mean but not too mean that i'm gonna have every cop following me. Right now i got the FLP w/ory through the GMMG and i'm good with that sound, i wouldn't mind a lil louder or a lil quieter for a daily driver. If u go easy on it from a stop will it still be pretty quiet until u get on it or past 2k RPM's or is it gonna be really loud the whole way.

Re: nasty shake at the stop light

WiseguyZ28- I would look into our Torquer cam(233/233, .595"/.595", 112LSA). It has a nice lope and gives great mid-range for street use. The 113 is going to smooth out the idle some. It won't hit as hard as the MS3 but will still soung great. How loud or quiet the exhaust will be is subjective. I think my car's a little loud and I have a Hooker. I am looking into an SLP Dual/Dual. I want it quiet. Maybe I'm just getting old.

Mike94ZLT1- Yeah, the cam hits hard at a light.

stone4779- The MS3 is an awesome cam. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Thanks, i'll look into it later........i might have to go with the 112 LSA except i gotta pass emissions. I'm gonna see if i'll pass emissions since its not sniffer anymore, when its time i'll look deeper into it. I need another year or two before i'm built for a nice cam and i might go with heads at the same time. I just wanna be able to hit low 11's with some other mods and the h/c.

Well is it more "knock" or more like a "tap"? If its more like a tap then try changing to Mobil 1 oil & filter and running 91 octane(recommended in owners manual)
