Magic Bumpstick?

**driftpin** · 03-04-2009, 03:55 AM

Is anyone here running a TSP Magic Stick 3 (or 4) camshaft? I'm seriously thinking of going with the the 3, any ideas or thoughts on that?

Of course I am going to beef up the valvetrain to handle the extra lift.

Lemons has a ms4. I dont know if you have to flycut the piston or not with em. I dont think so.

he should jump on here and say something when he sees this... but most likely hes banned

Please explain why you want such a large cam....

'Peaky' cams aren't always the best for a set-up.

Ms3 and 5.3 heads are a good combo though...

Call comp and give them the specs of the ms3 and see if they can't do a custom grind that may be better suited for your build?

From what I have read, as long as you are close to the stock CC on the heads you wont need to flycut. When I went to my local dyno and talk to him, he also said that it should be fine. And unlike some other dyno places I hear about this guy sure did know his shit about LS1's. He also showed me a project he was working on with an LS7 in an 69ish Camero

I have a MS3 in a basicly stock LS1 The only thing I changed was pushrods...bent 4 & Rockers....It is a real peaky cam but I went with 4.10's with the A4 also stock to rev up FAST & so far no problems!!!!

I'd go with the MS3

I heard things about flycutting the pistons with the MS4.....its a big bastard!

my ms3 fit in there like a glove

also thinking about the ms3. as far as i know, they are ok in the torue area, no great like some smaller ones but omg they make up for it 4k to read line....and isnt that where you spend most of your time when racing?...also
and if thinking about dd`n it, only serging part with a tune is between 1st and 2nd, which i heard you can learn drive it right and avoid it....god i want this cam or something close with the some heads with no flycutting...

Texas Speed can sink the valves deeper in the heads to increase PTV clearance if you wish.

**1991ls13** · 04-06-2010, 07:34 PM

with the 5.3 heads but not the ls6 stage 2, you have to flycut those, thats what they said.
here a link or the best ms3 sound ever, thats what i want but for some reason tsp is telling me its not a good daily...and to go with the torquer v2...
