Magic stick 4 cam help

**fraz1le** · 02-16-2008, 08:06 AM

Hey guys I was just curious what gear everyone is running and fuel and timing setups would help.

**slims00ls1z28** · 02-18-2008, 05:43 AM

I have a MS3 which is just a tad smaller . Gears are 4.11's, 3600 stall, couldn't tell you the timing specs as someone else did the the tune. Just TR55 plugs and MSD superconductor wires nothing special there. As far as fuel setup I have a racetronix 110 pump and 42 lb injectors.

How do you like the 4.11's?

I'm running the MS4, but timing and fuel are specific to each particular engine and will not be the same between ANY 2 vehicles. Works well with my 4000 stall and 3.73s.

I'm thinking of running a 4.10, do you thing the 3.73 is enough gear.

For what I want out of the car it's perfect. You may be different. We still know nothing about your engine or driveline, or the rest of your car for that matter.

3.73 here (M6 though), 42# injectors otherwise stock fuel.

**fraz1le** · 02-19-2008, 07:14 PM

I have 4000 stall, Lt's, x-pipe, lid, pulley, and 85mm tb, and soon a ms4 just trying to get the gear thats going to get the best time.

**Marc 85Z28** · 02-20-2008, 04:17 AM

That's easy... 3.73 for a street car, or 4.10s for a track car and a broken 10 bolt

**fraz1le** · 02-20-2008, 01:13 PM

Don't say dirty stuff like that, Its handled a 100 shot off the line so I hope it holds up for at least 3 or 4 trips if not I have another 10 bolt to go back in

The MS4 is a nasty fucking cam. Its gotta very mean chop to it also. Personally, i would never get an MS4 (no offense to MS4 owners) The cam is WAY to big and is not good for a DD, although some ppl manage. It's a peak power cam and has no under the curve power. All the power is gonna kick in late and pull like a train. How often are u gonna take ur daily driver past 6k? I have been in an MS4 WS6, and at first i was like "wtf, i thought this thing was cammed" once the revs shot past 3.5k i thought the car was gonna fly away. Lot of ppl get the MS4 becasue they see dyno sheets of ppl making like 70whp on a cam only car. Dont go by dyno numbers or the highest hp rateings. Bigger isnt always better.

Well its not a DD so I want as much gain as I can get to run the best #'s.

run the ms4 cam its a good cam i drive my car everyday i have no problems its all in the tune

**Killer_bluebird** · 02-22-2008, 07:04 AM

Ditto Here. Also the tune makes a big difference in the low end, Though the cam does wake up after 3000 and pulls like theres is no tomorrow until redline.

Love it wouldn't think twice about doing it again. With a tune on these engines the typical voodoos of the 4.10's don't apply. If you bump your RPM's to match the cam specs in the upper 6's almost 7K (mine was 6800) you shouldn't be going into overdrive before crossing the traps which is what most advised against 4.10's in the first place, going into OD WOT.
