Default Tick cams

Im looking for a cam for my forged bottom end build. Pure street car running around 800rwhp on stock cubes and 14lbs + boost.
I have sent request to all of the engine builders and so far, have been very impressed with Martin at tick performance's knowledge of cam designs.
Does anyone have any feedback, positive or negative on his cams?

I have no complaints for the one he just did for me. Same goals as you pretty much. We were able to idle it at 700 rpms lol.

curious what specs they are using, as someone on here had one that made more power from Tick, and I was interested in the idle vac. (power brakes)
he didn't know the vac., but did know the PKA, and it appeared to be 14-15" of vac, and was a little bigger than my cam

800 rwhp@14+psi? Just make sure you have a cam and you will be good to go.

That's great stuff to hear. He has explained in detail how he designs them, and why his make more power. Most look at duration and lift only to "recommend" a cam, but he designs one just for the car, engine and the persons needs. The cam he is recommending is HUGE compared to anything I would have thought I would run on the street, but will have very little overlap, so he says it will be great for my needs.
He is definitely the most knowledgeable , and has taken the most time to find out what I want, of any cam supplier/builder I've asked.
