I've been tossing the idea around of piecing a turbo combo together out of some parts I have laying around. I've got some CNC'd TFS 235's, an aluminum 6.0 block and a super victor intake. A buddy of mine told me he would let me borrow his PT76 Billet Wheel, Ball Bearing turbo since his car will be down for a while due to some family business he has to take care of.

My question is that I have been seeing a lot of the results from a guy on another forum, think his username is LilJohn, and his setups seem to be making gobs of power for being relatively simple combos but I also see that Martin from Tick comes highly recommended as well.

My dilemma is that I haven't really seen anything from Martin's end in terms of forced induction and it's mainly been just simple stuff like bolt on cars with cams or maybe a budget stroker with a small shot.

What do you guys think? Haven't decided on a chassis yet but it will be something light and on a 26x8.50 Mickey Thompson.

Either of them will be a fine choice IMHO, I've heard enough about both of them to know they are good for a cam spec..

You cant go wrong with either. Simple as that.

Its about who you feel more comfortable with

Martin is awesome to deal with, and will spend the time to explain exactly WHY he chose the specs he did.

Another vote for Martin, Seen a few of his cams in different turbo cars and they all do very well, Picking one up for my car this week.

Vote for Martin. I have NOT run my cam yet but I have spoken with him several times on the phone. I have had questions concerning bearing clearances, ring gaps, etc.... He has called me back on the weekend with answers and suggestions before. I have not had a chance to see the performance in his cam yet (car isn't running yet) but his customer service is some of the best I have ever dealt with.

FWIW-I plan to have mine up and running by LS fest and hope to improve my best of 6.04 to a 5.50. We'll see.

How about a 7.36@202mph in the 1/4 mile with a 1.30 60' and a lot left in the tank as far as E.T. with a single 106mm turbo and a 434 LSX? That is the fastest car that runs one of my camshafts. He races ODR in the LSX challenge series and MDRA X275.

I have done a lot of big power forced induction stuff. I don't post up a lot of the results I get.

I feel if you can't specify a good N/A cam, you shouldn't even try to fool with forced induction cam. Power on the dyno is also not the end all be all. How a car runs at the track, especially a boosted car is the tell all.

I'd be glad and more than happy to help you with your build.
Yes sir! How about full 12psi of boost@3500rpm with a 96mm turbine 1.32 AR housing that they say would NEVER spool with a 6 speed. Let alone with a 234/237 camshaft that "bleeds boost"! Ignorance is bliss!

Oh yea 103mph with a 6 speed on 12psi from a full weight car with a 10 bolt aint' too shabby neither.
LOL! You know it buddy!
Thank you very much for the kind words!

I feel an educated customer is a good customer!
Preston, thanks for the kind words! Rob's truck is hauling the mail and your car is next! You can count on that!
Thanks Delbert! I sent your push rod you were missing out this morning. Should get to you by Friday!

We're going to get you in the 5's one way or another!!!

After tweaking tune and making more power trans lost 3rd in my 4l80e so I guess you could say its stronger lol we will see when I really lean on it after trans rebuild.

Sales@Tick

iTrader: (3)

Man, we have to get you a two step and a 9".....6.80's easy on that tune-up.
I'd say that's a good thing, but losing a trans is not a good thing LOL!

Hey... If I vote for myself like Martin did would it be considered non vendor solicitation? Gotta make sure I dont break the rules.

Martin speced my cam which helped me make 1026rwhp/861rwtq with a 377ci and a Ysi in a 5th gen camaro.
