New cams from Tick Performance
Here the link to the first startup of my WS6 with the SNS Torque Max Stage 2 Cam.
Sounds pretty damn good. Can't wait to hear her after all the tuning is done and the idle is set.

Thanks guys. I can't wait to hear it in person. Once all the tuning was done, he was going to set the idle at 800 or even a little lower if possible. And yes, it has dumps.

I don't think you'd see much of a power gain unless you went a lot bigger on the cam and that would be at the sacrifice of driving manners. I have a lot of guys come to me that already have cams that want more power. I normally have to turn them away because in all honestly the gain that they might see would be so small it wouldn't be worth the labor and cost of parts to do the swap. Only if you went much larger would it be even remotely worth it. "Worth it" to some guys is 5-10rwhp, others is 50rwhp. I can tell you that you won't see but 5-15rwhp gain going from the cam you have now to any of my SNS cams.
Just picked my car up last night. Let's just say that when I first started her up, I had a smile on my face that I hadn't had since my last child was born. The car drives amazing and has tons or useable power.
. Nice to see the car put that smile on your face...horsepower has that effect on us for some reason lol!

The cam isn't going anywhere, it will be in there soon enough!

Thanks for the honesty. I might just wait till I build sonething else. Might go back and have Geoff tweak the idle table. He set it up to sound pretty smooth at idle. Now I wish it hit a lil harder.
How close are you to having the motor swap complete? I hope you have it out there this year. I'll PM you closer to the time so we can plan on meeting up.
