Default MHS vs CMS cams?

First off, would you choose mhs over cms? I was going to order cms but cushmanmotorsports is sold outta everything. I'm buying stage 2 patriot heads too. And where can you buy mhs cams cuz i cant find them on search. Thanks in advance guys

Look in my sig, and you'll see which ones i prefer.

They're both great, but MHS is going to offer a lot more grinds, which will allow you to get very specific, and get the most out of your setup.

yea i have an auto with a stock converter but i really dont wanna change it. i know its not necessary to change it but its recommending a 3000 stall while cms only recommends 2800. And i believe my stock stall is about 2400 anyway so 2800 isnt that far off. If their damn website had it in stock i woulda had them ordered. very frustrating!

Which specific cams are you looking at? Call Nick at MHS. I'm sure he has something that will fit your needs.

Gotcha! Just so you know (if you don't already) since you will be having the heads reworked, that would be a great time to change and/or modify the valves and pistons. That way you can run much more aggressive cams, up the compression, etc...end result being more hp.

yea well i know with the pi swap, my cars compression goes to 10:1 i believe. So there is a nice increase in compression so the cams push out more power. I really cant wait to take my car to the next level! Thanks for the help btw. I'll give him a call

A stall would make a big difference. Don't waste your time with a little 2800-3000 stall. Call around and see what companies recommend. I have a 3800 stall and love it.

Not to thread jack, but hows the street drive-ability with a 3800 stall?

I always wanted to get some cams, but I was afraid of bumping my stall to 3000 or higher.
