New cams from Tick Performance
Well guy's, you're going to have to wait for numbers on my setup. There were some issues with the heads I have, so I'm trying to work that out as we speak. I can't, or won't, say anymore until I get things worked out, so needless to say, my build is on hold for right now.
What type of Dyno was this on Martin?
I'm getting tuned on a Dyno Tract I think, not a Mustang or a DynoJet. It a weird one, they said it would be stingy with the numbers.
I'll post regardless but I'm more of a low expectations, high hopes kinda guy. I am shooting for 460 though. We'll see. I'm super pumped, it starts right up and runs like a demon.

Looks like it was a great idea for Tick to come out with a full line of Cams and they sure do deliver!
Martin, im seriously considering one of the stage 1 sns cams (223/227 or 223/231) Ive always been a fan of the smaller cams that make big power. Im looking for the maximum MIDRANGE possible without sacrificing too much PTV. Not too worried about topend (6200+) 3500-5500 is where my interest lies.

Wow, those graphs made me all warm inside! Haha. I can't wait to see what kind of 1/4 mile times that thang will make.
Martin, how much would the hp/tq change with a smaller chamber size? What size head gasket was used?
P.S. I just received part of my tax return so you will be hearing from me very shortly!!

just seems like a really big cam for a stock cubed motor. i am thinking of going cam only for awhile then maybe putting on some tfs 220 as cast heads with some turned down ls3 valves later. i am also not wanting to spin my motor past 6500 rpm.
In today's world of "Donkey Dick Cams", that cam is by no means "really big". Now the T-Rex, MS4, Vindicator, those are "really big" cams, but again, it boils down to what you want. Why not have Martin custom spec you a cam? That sounds like a win win to me.

The SNS Stage 3 will make even more under the curve power and peak just a hair earlier than the V.2 Polluter does.
If you want we could grind you a custom cam like Rise of The Phoenix mentioned, but I also have the Street Heat Stage 2 which is 233/240 112+2 or the SNS Stage 2 which is 231/235 111+2 if you would like a smaller cam.

I think he meant the stage 2 for LS2 engine, I ordered myself a SNS Stage 3 for LS1 with mild lobes and can't wait to get it so I can put it in right away, this cam is not as big as MS3, MS4, etc. this cam have the same duration as the TR RapTR and LG G5x3 but with better lobes
The 231/235 111+2 is a great street cam with a choppy idle and an awesome power curve. The Street Heat Stage 2 (for LS2
) is 233/240 112+2 and would be a good in between the Stage 2 SNS and the Stage 3 SNS. Thread Starter

Just finished up dyno tuning this nice looking 6.0 GTO. It is running one of our Saturday Night Special series "TorqueMAX" cams. This is the Stage 2 227/235 .61x"/.62x" 110+3 version. The car has minimal bolt-ons including 1x7/8" headers, 3" catted X-pipe with 3" Magnaflow exhaust and a Vararam intake. It also has a Fast 102 intake with the stock 90mm LS2 TB.
Idle clip:
Sounds very tame with the Magnaflow Mufflers and cats.
SAE:
STD:
Very nice power and torque curve for stock heads and the minimal amounts of bolt-ons the car has. Without cats I'd expect it to pick up 5-10rwhp and with a larger MAF and an under-drive pulley it could pick up another 10-15rwhp there. Lots of potential for future modifications!
Main thing is it drives very well. The 6.0 soaks up the overlap and spits it out like a purring kitten. 6th gear at 55mph is not a problem at all.
