New cams from Tick Performance
I have a link to a build thread in my sig. 347 built to around 11.1 ish when it's all said and done. Have to change my gaskets to suit my heads so that dropped it a bit. Installed straight up this cam would put you right around 8.4ish DCR which can obviously be modified by altering cam timing. Probably don't want to go too far north of that to stay safe on pump gas though. My goals were to keep the engine streetable while focusing on a wide midrange and usable power. Message Martin, he is a tremendous help.

Yes, My valvetrain noise went way up with this cam but I have Comp 7.400 Pushrods, I'm pretty sure that I need to upgrade to 7.425 since my heads are 64cc, I'll probably get the checker before I buy.

Normally the standard lobes are a little noisy due to the exhaust lobe that is used, but the milder lobes are normally(note normally) much quieter.
I've tried tracking this pattern of "valve-train" noise from cam lobe to different cam lobe, and push rod length to different push rod length, and just when I think I've found a set of lobes that are quieter than another set, a customer pops up with the "quieter" set-up that is just as loud as the ones that were louder in other set-ups.

I just got HP Tuners in the mail today, I'm looking for somebody that has a tune on the spot with a similar set up than me so I can get it re-tuned Faster = Sooner Track times!!! Any help on that would be greatly appreciated. Thread Starter

When the car is cold it's dead quiet, but when it gets warmed up it sound like a sewing machine, I'm currently running 10w30 oil, I don't really care about the noise as long as it performs great!!!

Just ordered my SNS stage 2 (milder) today!
Also briefly spoke to Martin on the phone, super nice to deal with and was able to pass me over to the shipping guru to get things figured out ASAP.
Thanks guys!

Let us know once you get it installed! Let's keep this thread updated with customer videos, dyno numbers and track times if at all possible!
Code:
I've got a couple big lifted trucks that are installing their Stage 1 cams right now.Code:One is a 6.0 on 37's!
What information are you looking for and I'll see if I can provide it!
Alan,
I would go with the Stage 1 TorqueMAX cam(223/227 .610"/.614" 111+2). A lot of people forget that the 5.3 has the same stroke as a 5.7 or 6.0 and a 6.2. Because of this it spends the same amount of time at TDC and BDC of those other larger engines and needs to be cammed similarly. Yes the bore is smaller so it will need a little smaller cam, but my cams for a 5.3 are very similar to my 5.7/6.0 cams.
