Haven't seen it done unlocked, but I see what you're saying...

I bet you're making 460-470 rwhp/410-420 rwtq.
Sorry its taking so long! LOL I've worked out a few kinks with wheel hop and I plan to pull converter this winter. Can't decide if I should just have yank loosen this converter up or get a FTI 3800 converter. Also plan to get a dyno tune over the winter season, wish I was closer to you guys for a tune.

That extra 60rwhp/80rwtq on nitrous, and that extra 70rwhp/40rwtq on motor sure is a welcome addition I bet!

I'm having our web guy put your results up on our web page for this camshaft. Thanks for providing detailed before and after dyno graphs! I wish more customers would do this!

Thanks again!
No problem! I should be able to get the pdf copies of the dyno sheets if you were wanting to post them on the site. I'm more than happy with the cam... wish I could say my neighbors felt the same lol

Martin, do you spec cams that will not smell with a catless setup? By smell, I mean that obvious cam overlap death smell, not just the normal stock cam catless smell.

If I add catless headers, I am going to need to switch to a cam that doesn't smell. How small do you have to go? Any suggestions? Would one of your emissions friendly cams solve the problem?

Just a quick update to my build. This Monday it finally got to the tuner. It put down 424 hp and the stock fuel pump couldn't keep up. Going to update fuel pump this week and put back on dyno to squeeze some more from it. I'll post all numbers and dyno sheets when done.

It would need to be low on seat to seat overlap. Tuning can help this as well, but there is only so much it can accomplish with added valve overlap.

Shoot me an email and we'll figure something out if you'd like.

Nice numbers for a 4l60E Nathan! It should run well at the track with that set-up!

Martin I'm looking for a cam suggestion for my 2000 m6 LS1 C5. I was looking at the SNS stage 2 mild and stage3 mild as I am looking for midrange and torque starting as soon as possible. However I'm really liking the max effort numbers of the POLLUTER V2 but I don't really care for it's operating range. Is their a happy medium?
Thanks

A custom grind would probably be your best bet.

Send me an email and we can go over some specs.

Just ordered my sns stage 3 cam kit with all goodies and talking with Phil at AI to get the HCR219 cnc heads. Thanks to Martin for answering my questions and great customer service.

Erik,

If you can, try and get a before and after when you do your head/cam swap.

It would be neat to see the results.

what would you suggest for my application? i'm debating on swapping out my comp xer273hr since I've recently lost a lifter and I've read these cam lobes are pretty harsh. I need drivability, but I love to hear my cam.

I've got a chevy 1500 1/2ton single cab short bed
full bolt ons
built 4l60e w/circle d 3200 stall
2002 lq4 6.0
stock 317 heads (they are off so getting them shaved is an option now)
3.55 gears
29" tires

daily driver, not a tow rig but you never know it might grab a trailor one day but unlikely.

thanks in advance.

Just wanted to give my nod to Martin on his great customer service and his patience in dealing with my cautious personality, finally ordering a custom built cam, BTR Springs and Lifters after 3-4wks.

There are a lot of great sponsors on this site who always give personal attention and confidence when speaking to them on the phone. Martin falls in this category. Although to me he is the new guy on the block in terms of LS1Tech, I can tell you all your in good hands and not be hesitant in your decision.

My engine is finally rebuilt by Mike T., and waiting for an open lift to reinstall the long block. Crossing my fingers everything goes as expected!

With the information you've given, a custom grind such as this one 229/232 .615"/.575" 114+3 would be ideal IMO.

cool, and that would be without shaving the heads? if i bumped compression up down the road with some 243 heads, will this cam still be good?

It would IMO be great to use still even with 243 heads. More torque.
