Pulling the trigger tomorrow....on a cam
Pulling the trigger tomorrow....on a cam Well the times come to start piecing together my cam swap. I originally was set on the torquer v3 from Texas speed along with the ls6 oil pump, ls2 timing chain, cam gasket kit w/ longer arp crank bolt ect...but I ran across a cam called "the polluter" from tick performance. It's the same exact kit but it's $100 cheaper. The specs of the polluter are 24x/24x .61x/.61x 112lsa. The v3 is 231/234 .643/.598 111lsa. I've heard both produce awesome power and not just peak numbers. it's a street car only (see sig). Which cam kit would u guys go with? I drive it mainly on the weekends and I want that streetable/usable power and torque. along with the cam I'll b Pickin up a bbk ssi intake since they are $100 more than a used ls6. And I'm sending my throttle body out to be P/P... Im just worried the polluter will b too big and be a turd with in town driving even though I do have 4.10's. I will buy heads later down the road. and I'm purchasing one of these kits tomorrow so custom grind is a no no for me. hope that's enough info. Thanks.
I've got the T3 and I've been very happy with it. My car was an A4 until just recently, but since i switched to the M6 it seems like my car is always in the power band. My tune could be a little better, but i'm convinced i made the right choice.
I've also got heads on the car, but I'm very happy with my torque curve.

pulls pretty hard. as i said, I,m not 100% sold on my tune, which is partially because it hasn't been on the dyno since i did the trans swap. but through a poorly designed Y, and an awful flowmaster CB, i put down 384rwhp on a mustang dyno through an unlocked A4. feels like a great streetable cam
Ok kool. I should b lookin in the 400 range then with a m6. I'll probably just stick to my gut and order the v3 tomorrow. I think the price of the kit and their fancy advertising caught my eye lol.

Also it seems u putting out pretty low numbers with having a set of heads....I would think u should b in the 420ish range with heads and a cam on an a4....hmm weird

Yeah, that's what I thought originally too. Then I talked to a few other people that had been on that dyno and they had lower numbers too. Keep in mind that mine is through a terrible exhaust setup, an UNlocked torque converter and a less than perfect tune. I needed some work to say the least

ill call up texas speed tomorrow and see what they can do for me since tick's price is a little less money for the same exact kit, just different cam obviously. im excited to get it done tryin to decide if i should pick up the chris1313 ram air and maybe a UD pulley, dunno if either are worth the $$ though.
got ur pm btw, replied to it
The polluter runs good on the street and can seem mild depending on the tune. If it's not a DD go big. You already have the gear for it too. Nothing like doing all that work and wishing you went bigger like a lot do. Then again you could also wish you didn't go so big.
