I wish we could dyno tune it as well! Jonathan is quickly becoming IMO one of the best tuners in the country. I would be willing to put him up against any other tuner out there. He may not have the experience many others do that have been tuning for 5-10 years or more, but his intuition and intelligence quickly make up for that.

Awesome! I will get to it as soon as I possibly can.

Here is another video I found on youtube earlier of a LS1 Polluter cam customer. I believe he has already posted in this thread with a video of his own, but here is another one for good measure!


Here is a LS3 Polluter cam customer:

Just took the car to the track yesterday-

Best time was a 7.71 with a 1.8X 60ft, and a 94.7 mph trap in the 1/8th mile. The car still has way more in her, but on a Nitto 555r radial(315's @ 14psi), that's pretty damn good in my opinion on my setup.

10 bolt held up just fine... Slick's,9", and Proton Plus kit (150) will make a believer out of these full race cars. lol (Did I mention she weighs around 4000lbs)

Martin's SNS Stage 2 had guys looking for my "fogger system" all night...lol (BTW, she's all throttle now, hence the wish list up top)

Once again Martin, we thank you!

I got video and pics. I'll post them ASAP!

Launching off idle while feathering the throttle, I couldn't really dial in a launch rpm that would hook worth a damn before the gambler grudge started. (F-body vs Mustang Shootout; Placed Runner up)

Clutch=Monster Stage 3, and she loved every second of it! Wouldn't go back for the world.

95mph trap speed is great for your weight! That IMO backs up your dyno numbers 100%. With slicks and a 9" you should be well into the low 7's and into the 6's with the nitrous!

Let me tell you, them guys at TICK are top notch.
Jonathan worked on tweaking my car and I now have a 440hp (reason 4 the extra Hp is the SSRA) car that drives 100% COMPLETELY like stock. My car is such a joy to drive now.
I put it thru all the tests and on my way home and I was able to drive in 6th grear all the way down to 1100rpm with NO! bucking at all...NONE! I couldnt believe the difference. 40, 50, 60 mph and no surging or bucking like before in any gear.
The car drives, act and feels completely like it was when stock but NOT

I hate going there (haha) cause all I wanna do is spend money. So im now going to let the wiring guru (jonathan) fix my nitrous setup and throw it on the dyno and tune it for up to 150 hit.

These guys will do what they can in any way to make (us) the customer happy campers. (just dont get to close to Martin) LOL!!!

you should see some of the rides up there. ..WOW!

thanks guys!!
These guys know what they're doing, period.

I've spoke with both Martin & Jonathan on a few occaisions, and it's nice to know that the advice I'm getting is top notch. I honestly still cannot believe how much of a difference the tick master made in my car, it's truly worth its weight in gold.

Can't wait to purchase and install an SNS St 2 in my car.

Martin, I will have Dyno numbers real soon. Clutch is nearly broke in, so car is going back to be fully tuned and then I'm going to Kansas City to have the car dyno'd. I should add that the tune will be a SD tune. I'm really hoping for 440rwhp and over 400rwtq. I'll make sure to post up the dyno graph and a video of the car on the dyno.

Well seeing Stroked383 made 430/405 with a ORY, and you have true duals not to mention an aftermarket set of cylinder heads. I think you will be at least where he is in terms of dyno numbers if not higher. Stroked383 also has 1x3/4 stepped to 1x7/8 headers and I believe you have 1x7/8" headers too don't you? As long as the dyno isn't stingy I think you'll hit your numbers.

It will be on Justune's Dynojet. My buddy just put down 360rwhp/370rwtq with his 02 SS with just long tubes, catted Y, Magnaflow catback, Lid, ported TB.

My headers are actually 1 3/4, not 1 7/8, but I've got the 3 inch duals. I'd say the AI Dart/RHS CNC'd heads are worth at least 15rwhp over the PRC CNC'd 5.3's. Plus, the 11:5.1 compression will help.

I'll definitely get my car tuned by him If I ever get stationed in Fayetteville, NC. Do you guys get customers from Fort Bragg???

If that isn't the strongest bolt on 2002 SS I've ever heard of dyno numbers wise, then that Dyno Jet is a little on the happy side. Most bolt on cars with catted y-pipes make 340-350rwhp/335-345rwtq on our dyno. It certainly doesn't sound stingy.

Lol, I wasn't able to edit them because I've been sick and still trying to manage work.

But here you go. First Video (Bye Run- "Dial In Run")

http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http...ng&h=sAQEX6fPA


Second Video (For all the Marbles...lol) I got beat by .04X of a second on reaction time. My "Dial In" time was a 7.70 and his was 6.90, I ran a 7.712 while he ran a 6.928. He still gets the win light because reaction time was better. "Bracket Racing", gotta love it! lol Pretty cool to see the E/T lights come on at the same time. I still out MPH'd him! 94.7 (ME) vs 93.6 (Him) Sixty foots were quite different as well. 1.8X (Me) vs 1.4X (Him) Goes to show how well you can benefit from slicks! Anywhoo, enjoy the vids!
