You will be part of the selection process. Having customer input on driving habits, usage and intended purpose of the vehicle is more than 50% of my decision making process involving the camshaft profile chosen.

Thanks guys!

In case anyone missed the thread I posted in the dyno section, here is a 2005 C6 LS2 that Northshore Auto Clinc in Slidell, LA installed a V.2 LS2 Polluter cam in. Full bolt on car with stock cam that was replaced with the V.2 Polluter(239/244 .624/.595 111+2) and then re dyno tested to record the gains.





It was cold outside so the air was really good!

Got your email thanks martin

Default Street Heat Stage1 V2

Hi Martin,

I received an email saying Tick released a new version of the Street Heat Stage 1 cam...The V2. Can you go into a bit more detail on this new cam? Any installs yet and performance gains. Thanks Dan

Martin, with the 231/235 cam, should I run stock MLS gaskets or some thinner Cometics? Mill my 243s or leave them alone?

Guys I really have to apologize here. I am very behind on my emails.

Please don't think I am ignoring you, I am trying my best to get to everyone I possibly can as fast as I possibly can.

If anyone has the ability to call the shop that has sent an email that has gone unanswered please call me to discuss your needs.

Again, I deeply apologize and I hate to see you guys have to wait on me. I'm not that special LOL!

I emailed you and faxed my custom grind form but haven't heard back. Between work/school/time zones it's pretty much impossible for me to call you guys during business hours, BUT I also understand you guys are a functioning garage and not a call center so I don't feel "ignored" in the slightest. I JUST WANT MY CAM!! lol i feel like a dope fiend

You could run a .040" gasket if you wished. I would mill no more than 1.5-2cc max.
