I've only seen good results with the polluter. Nice torque too and doesnt rev to the moon. If I'm swapping for a big cam, I'll be all over the polluter. You could get nicely ported 243s and get awesome results too.

I've seen 2 thread with 475+rwhp polluter cammed car; one with TEA heads and another with TFS. Good luck!

My vote is Go For It!! You'll get good results. Thats the cam I wanna run after I get another DD. If any doubts contact Tick Performance with your questions... They have good customer service and wouldn't mind answering your questions

It is a big *** cam but depending on your tuner it can be tamed. My tuner said he couldn't get my tune on due to the FIC injectors(not sure how true this is)but it is not terrible. On the street you can cruse at 1800 rpm while giving it little throttle and it wont surge/buck until you lug it... which is expected. I cruse around 2-2300rpm and have no issues. I put out 440/400 with LS6 intake/pacesetter headers and cheap restrictive cai. Hoping for 450 with the LS1 lid. With the CNCd trick flows and a 90/90 470+ would be easy IMO. Car also trapped 116 in the 1/4 with a 2.2 60'.

BTW this is with the rev limiter at 6500. The cam pulls past that so plan on doing katech rod bolts and spinning to 6800/7k.

I like my Poluter Cam. Does need some tweaking with the tune to get it somewhat streetable but it doesn't bother me. Sorry for the shitty video. If I do end up keeping the car(Currently for sale), I'll be adding a set of ported 243's laster this year.

I have a polluter cam on stock heads and i dd the car and it performs awesome and I haven't looked back on my decision. With a good tune it has really good street manners but its an absolute beast at wot, it loves high rpms and still makes pretty decent low end power. I would defiantly say go for it.
