Tick Performance Blower&Turbo Cams!!!
I'm proud to release our line of Blower&Turbo cams to all the blower&Turbo guys out there!
I got tired of seeing generic "boost" cams that were labeled as a one size fits all camshaft. Trying to use a "one size fits all" moniker for anything forced induction is lunacy in my opinion as it takes a profile biased towards the application you are working with to perform at it's maximum potential.
In this case it is the cathedral port headed, centrifugal and roots blown applications along with turbo applications that these camshafts were designed by me for.
The rectangle port stuff is coming soon as the profiles have already been drawn up we just have to get them to market for you guys.
For now though the cathedral port applications for 325-364 cubic inch blower profiles can be found here:
http://www.tickperformance.com/tick-...1-ls6-engines/
http://www.tickperformance.com/tick-...1-ls6-engines/
And the 346-370 cubic inch blower profiles can be found here:
http://www.tickperformance.com/tick-...r-ls2-engines/
http://www.tickperformance.com/tick-...r-ls2-engines/
Both are the same profile, but here soon the LS2 stuff will have the option for a single bolt or three bolt cam core.
Also for you turbo guys reading this our turbo stuff will be on the site and released soon. I'll make a separate thread for when that happens and the rectangle port stuff comes out.
Since my turbo thread was deleted I added the turbo cams here:
325 cubic inch to 364 cubic inch profiles here:

http://www.tickperformance.com/tick-...1-ls6-engines/
http://www.tickperformance.com/tick-...r-ls2-engines/

364-408 cubic inch profiles can be found here:

Thanks for looking and any questions can be asked here in this thread, PM, e-mail or call me at the shop!
P.S.
If you see something here that doesn't quite fit your build or application I can also specify custom profiles that will be the right camshaft you need for that application, but for 9/10 of the stock cubic inch 5.3/5.7/6.0 and 383-385 c.i. stroke stuff out there and some mild 402/408 engines, these camshafts will work perfect. Here is a link to the description and form for you to fill out for a custom camshaft profile:

Stroker stuff will also be coming soon for cathedral port blower motors so keep your eyes peeled for more Tick Performance blower cams!

None yet, but you can be the first!
I haven't had a dissatisfied customer ever from a camshaft I have done though if that means anything.
We've got plenty of customers out there that have centrifugal and roots blowers that will be getting some of these very soon.

Just to show you guys that I know blower cams......https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...l#post16798515
In short this gentleman was having trouble getting his F1X combination to perform the way he wanted.
With just a cam swap from a cam comp had specified and sold him to my custom cam he gained 125rwhp with 3psi less(15psi) than he made his highest numbers before which were on 18psi.
It was making so much more power and the engine was so much more efficient that it ran out of fuel pump at 6200rpm! His blower pulleys are set-up to make 18psi at 6800rpm, so I would think that when this thing hits 18psi it's going to gain at least another 50-75rwhp if not 100rwhp more than what it's already made over the old cam.
That's a 200+ rwhp gain from a cam swap!!!

They are designed for roots blown or centrifugal superchargers, but we just released my turbo cams yesterday. I'll be making a thread here shortly for those.

Thank you N2OBaby, I'm glad I make it look easy...because it's not!!!
What camshaft do you have now?
All my forced induction camshaft profiles utilize lobes that aren't super aggressive, yet aren't "old man" mild. I pick lobes that have more total duration than comparable lobe families with the same @.050 numbers which means they have a slower ramp rate, but still open the valve just as long and most of the time just as far lift wise as comparable more aggressive lobe families do.
This leaves you with a valve-train that is much more controllable under boost and higher cylinder pressure along with one that will allow a longer interval between valve spring changes.
The lobes on the particular camshaft you are inquiring about would yield 20-30k of use if set-up properly with the associated hardware the BTR spring kits utilize. Valve-train weight will also play a part in how long the springs will last so a heavier valve/rocker/retainer will cause them to wear out faster than a lighter package would. Brian's retainers to my knowledge are the lightest on the market for a dual spring.

Awesome stuff! I've been looking around for a turbo specific cam for awhile now to do over this winter. Any idea when you will be releasing the turbo spec cams?
Thanks a ton for doing some custom stuff for the FI world!

I've never had one take longer than 8-9 business days after the order was placed to reach the customer and that was only once.
From what I can see theirs is ground on a 113, but with how much advance or if any advance ground into the profile I do not know.
My 222/226 is meant for the customer that wants a stock idle, will pass emissions, have a broad power band, and still make 35-45rwhp more than the stock cam. It is what I would consider an entry level camshaft and would also work well with boost. It is ground on the same lobes my Stage One Blower cam is ground on.

Also guys I added our custom camshaft link to the first post so you have that option also.
