do you REALLY expect us to go through and look up the specs on each of those cams?

i have a good idea what the ms4 is...and i think with the TFS heads milled as much as you can for compression...possibly flycut...and a ported FAST 92/92, you should be in the 480rwhp range.
seems i've seen that setup before.

if you really maximize the setup and do ALL the bolt ons you may approach 500rwhp.

but it isn't easy...

There was a thread in the dyno section. With a trex and a set of heads. It put down 500 at the wheel... There all good cams so that would be up to you.

I would go with either a Vindicator, MS4, or Trex. Or have someone spec up a custom grind for you.

If I remember correctly, Allen Nelson(Nelson Performance) helped Futral(could've been Nickens Brothers instead...I'm not sure) come up with a 500hp combo. You may want to shoot Nelson a PM and see what they came up with.

Yeah. I always thought that was stupid too. If someone REALLY had thier heart set on copying the damn thing and had the resources to do so, they would simply buy one.
The remainder of the perspective buyers, as 19trans_am98 pointed out, will simply go to the competition to get a known/identified product.
That said, I would probably lean toward the MS4. In spite of the fact it is another mystery cam, I'm hearing good things about the "Polluter" cam too.

Kinda depends on the cubic inches and efficiency of the engine the cam is going into also, doesn't it? Or are we just talking about pushing a 346 LS1 to 500 rwhp?
