Justin feel free to give me a call at anytime if you feel you need some questions answered. I'd be more than happy to go over some more things for you.

Sounds great Martin..I know I'm going with one of the SNS cams for sure now.
I'll give a call as soon as my fat *** tax refund gets here within 2 or 3 weeks.

Thanks man.

I'd go SNS as well...u mentioned the polluter, i am looking at that cam as well but on the 111 lsa. That cam sounds NASTY!!!! and 428 rw from a basically stock setup. And a quiet valvetrain...great street manners. How can u beat that? Hey Martin...how come u arn't recomending more of this cam to people???? Do u have any sound clips of the 111 yet?? Is the polluter gonna need some kinda special setup for maybe DD, or would u say track only on that cam because of its size?

I agree with this. I like that cam. To the OP do you have a built trans or plan on it? Most of those cams are gonna need to be shifted close to 7k. If you weren't going to go with one of Martins grinds I'd be interested in seeing how a 230/238 111+3 LXL/LXL. I can see the midrange being ridiculous

I'd do the last one for what you want but I'm a little biased because I have the same cam only a little different LSA and ICL. Mine is a 112+2. Ran 11.30's full weight through an auto with stock heads and bolt-ons and trapped 120.7.

No problem Justin, take your time.

I'm glad V.2 is as big of a hit as the V.1 was and that you're impressed by it. No clips of the 111 yet, just waiting on someone brave enough to try one lol. No special set up is needed, but if your heads are milled any or have bigger valves than stock you will have to fly cut with the V.2 or V.1 Polluter.

Actually with stock heads you'd be surprised that they don't require that much rpm. If you've ever seen any of my n/a cams dyno graphs they make huge under the curve power, great average power and awesome peak power to boot. Unless a customer has a set up that can take advantage of those kind of rpms, or specifically asks for it I won't spec the cam to do that. I don't like giving up a lot of under the curve power for peak power. For example with stock port volume the V.2 peaks at 6350, shift at 6700-6800. SNS stage 3 will peak at 6200 shift at 6600-6700. SNS stage 2 will peak slightly earlier than that. Now will shifting them a little higher give faster e.t.'s, most likely, but it might not be best without rod bolts.

Why are you getting the V3 on a 112 LSA? They usually come on a 111. If you want it to thump hard stick with a 111 LSA. Coming from a V3 owner I'd get the last one....is that the Tsunami? With a good tuner all can run smooth.

Right now, I have the Thunder Racing Trak Cam 231/234 112 LSA +2, But I'm worried about spending for new valve springs here in a while, So once you get your cam, you'll probably want a big one, like now I'm going with patriot stage 2 64cc heads and have my Eyeball in the Tick "SNS" torqueMAX Stage 3 milder version (234/242 111lsa+2) for decreased valve train wear.It looks very promising without having a lot of lift and smaller than MS4,TREX, etc.

Sns. The specs look like they'd work well with your stall/gears. It probably pulls like a **** to redline.

I hope you didn't try to call on Friday. The weather was horrible and I went home early due to my 1 hour drive home.

If you want, give me a call Monday and we'll get everything sorted out for your new modifications!!!
