Where does the power start coming in on the V2 versus the SNS's and where will the power peak out?

When you say, "where does the power start coming in" I feel like every person will have a "different point" in which they feel the power starts to come in.

I can say that with a set of TEA 243's and the SNS Stage 3 that at 4000rpm through a locked A4 it is making nearly 425ft. lbs. of torque and torque peaks at 4750rpm's. With a manual transmission it will make a higher figure down low, but not much more than a locked A4 will with an efficient converter. Horsepower peaks at 6200ish rpm's.

I guess I'm just trying to figure which one has the broadest rpm range with a nice curve looks like the V2 has that from what I seen on the dyno. Any dyno info on the other cams for a comparison?

Anyone else with input on a cam choice or have first hand exp. with MS3,Ms4,Polluter V2,G5X3,G5x4,Trex,Raptr,F14,F15,F16 ect? or any others i have not mentioned? I'm really looking for a big cam with decent street manners and a nice broad torque curve to help get me close to the magic 500whp!

Well in my search i found 2 custom cams here they are anyone have any input on them?
236 / 240 .64x" / .61x" 113 + 4
235/242 .64x / .62x 111+3

Type those numbers in the search box..It usually brings up old threads of members who have/want that cam. That's all I got, I let Martin at tick do all the work to spec out and answer ALOT of my questions/concerns. He specked out a 231/234 111+3.

Can anyone shed some light on those custom specs and what i can expect from them?

I'd go with the Tick SNS torqueMAX Stage 3.

They are high on my list however those other two customs seem similar and the one being 113lca might make the lower end a bit better maybe?

Ttt!!!!

The 113lsa isn't going to make the low-end better, the 111lsa will and it'll have more DCR.

I thought the 113 would be a bit better down low due to less overlap and be have better street habits but i'm far from a cam guru! But this one (235/242 .64x / .62x 111+3) one i found has my interest just would like to know what to expect from it! Seems close to be between the Polluter and SNS cams.

I doubt you'll gain anything(except increased Valvetrain wear) from the additional lift above .621" on the intake lobes, but you will gain a little DCR with it having 1* more advance which isn't really any advantage since you can always advance the Tick cam 1-2 degrees more.

Sounds like i'm just splitting hairs on such small differences!

99Bluz28

iTrader: (35)

Yeah you are, but you still have to pick which half of the hair you want.

Exactly I'm not asking for much just great lowend great high end lopey idle with the best peak HP and still be streetable that should not be to hard to find!!!

I have 1st hand experience with the F14 high lift. 232/234 .646/.612 114lsa. I ran that cam with patriot performace 59cc 243 heads in my M6 daily driver for about 3yrs. I eventually melted a piston on the spray. Anyway, it drove great, sounded great and ran strong. It put down 434whp/396wtq N/A and 565/585 on 120 dryshot. I had flp 1 3/4 headers, flp y-pipe, hooker catback, ls6 intake, 25% ud pulley, 10bolt 4.30gears, 4.10gears, 3.90gears (i like swapping gears lol)

I know the rwhp is nowhere near what your looking for. But with some high dollar heads, fast intake, 1 7/8 (kooks, AR) headers it would have made some where in the area of 470whp. I agree with everyone else, its going to take a bigger cam to get to 500whp and the devils in the details but you obviously know that.

Take a good look at the F16 and Godzilla Jr. made by Futral. Hope that helped a little. Here is a video of me on the spray though. I am in the second race, red ss

Yea i know the stars need to align just right to see those #'s and i'm not going to lose sleep if i dont get there but close would be nice. I will not be DD'ing this just a weekend fun toy so i'm expecting to give up some driveability to get there!
