I also am selling my cam/springs I bought. I was doing some reading and people tend to say the ms3 cam is a bad set up for turbo. I also read its good, but I can skip it for now and put the money towards something I need.

Good idea u want a mild cam for turbo, thats why the HPE cam hasnt gone in my gto yet, should be a quick monte when ur done

I just get a lot of opinions on it though, no one really has any dyno numbers to back it up. It kind of sucks haha. And you planning one too?

I'm going to leave full interior in it haha, I still want to be able to drive it as many miles a year as I do no. If anything I'll get some fiberglass panels to offset the weight of that 4l80e, yikes. And I know I need to get it running, I'm pretty much waiting on the machine shop at this point. And thanks
