Default Tick Performance Truck Cams......what happened to the thread?

I can't get into the Tick truck cam thread for thier new line of truck cams. I can find it through google, but I can't get into it. Anyone else having the same problem? When I search Torquemax in ls1tech.com nothing comes up with the truck cam thread.

I'm out in the middle of the ocean right now in the military......which is what I THOUGHT the issue was....but I can literally open EVERY thread BUT that one.......kinda wierd....

Can anyone get into the thread?
Anyone know if they pulled the plug on that series of cams?

Yeah, just contact Martin at Tick Performance.
BTW, If it needs to pass smog then ask about his 214/218 111lsa cam, it'll pass smog with a good tune since it has enough negative overlap(-6*).

I deleted the thread per Martin's request.

He's not *quite* ready to release them yet... Tweaking a few things.

Don't worry. He'll be back with them sooner than you think.

thanks doc....I'm hoping to see some dyno results and track times in a new thread when the new cams come out from tick with the lower compression 5.3's......I'd love to see some all motor 12's in a full size truck DD with one of thier cams and like a 3200 stall...........

Dr. Whigham is correct. I had him delete the LS3 Torquemax cam thread and the truck cam thread so that none were mislead when the cams were actually released and that thread was still floating around.

Have you had any of your previous cam customers who are truck guys run any solid 12's in a 07 & older regular cab truck with an 5.3/3200-ish stall in it? I'm curious if I would have to mill my heads in order to use one of your larger cams since I have the lower compression 5.3.......

It seems like with the lower compression 5.3's need to run a 3600+ stall because they get over cammed by what is on the market right now in order to make it into the 12's....Thanks for making a line of cams that focus on the truck guys......not sure if anyone has actually thanked you for your effort Martin.....

I'll be buying one and once they come out and be more than happy to share the results.....my truck is already set up....3200 stall, 4:10's, Caltracs, 1 7/8 headers, slicks.....I'm just on the fence of putting a 6.0L in it or camming the 5.3 to run in the 12's all day long......

I appreciate the kind words, but I'm still wanting to test more before I fully release them.

I kindly ask everyone one of my customers to report back with their results, yet I'd say maybe 15% actually do. I have not yet had anyone report back to me with any data on what you have asked for although I have cammed many of those combinations.

Anyone wanting or willing to possibly test a camshaft design please contact me in this regards.
