They have already sold alot of these cams, and the track times are coming soon. I know there are alot of haters on here. I know these guys personally and just give the cam a chance. I promise you it want disappoint.

Guys, i'm not talking about the company selling it. I'm talking about the retards saying they want it because it is such a good cam, despite lacking track times to back up that claim.

Well excuse us retards that are actually taking the time to buying and install the cam to test it out. If it was not for us retards, you people would have to do the testing yourselves god forbid. Maybe all us retards that go out of the way to try something new and plan on letting others know the results should keep the track times/dyno numbers to ourselves despite how good or bad they may be.

With all the new cam development over the past few years......why hasnt anyone beat the cam only record of the T Rex? Look at the list.....looks like the T Rex and G5X4 still the ones to beat.

In a day and time when it seems like the entire world is focused on economical transportation and "going green", Tick Performance is... well... not. Call us old fashioned, but we still like making a lot of tire-shredding horsepower and making a lot of unadulterated noise. We designed this cam to be one of the biggest, nastiest, lopiest bumpsticks that you can slide into a stock bottom end - but with one important feature that competitor cams leave out: TORQUE.

For years, us cam-only LSx guys have been making big horsepower with big camshafts, but most left alot to be desired in the torque department. Determined to change that, we here at Tick Performance teamed up with GM Expert tuner Alvin Anderson of PCMForLess to design a camshaft that will offer the big horsepower numbers that big cams provide in these cars, but also make the big TORQUE that makes driving these heavy F-Bodies much easier and makes them feel much more responsive.

The specs? .24x/.24x (.61x/.61x) on a 110 or 112LSA

The results?


This isn't a car that is set up with all kinds of dyno tricks and optimizations to get the best number, this is an EXTREMELY basic bolt-on 2001 Camaro with a 6spd and our Polluter cam installed. These numbers are with an LS6 intake. These numbers are with a backyard true dual exhaust setup with SLP's old-design headers. These numbers are with bone stock heads that have never been off of the car and of course a bone stock, untouched bottom end. These results are from the Polluter on a 112LSA and the smoothing is set to zero because there is a spike in the graph when we set it to 5.

Imagine what would happen if we put a FAST 92mm Setup on it? Imagine what would happen if we put a far better exhaust on it? Imagine what would happen if we sprayed it?

Oh wait - this is Tick Performance! Of course we sprayed it.


The above results are with a Zex kit installed with the 125hp pills. The Polluter on a 112LSA absolutely loves nitrous!
I think its that the fact it makes over 300 TQ at 3k RPM and the other cams make less that this one is getting all the buzz. Plus the fact that this car is a VERY simple bolt on car. It doesnt even have a FAST!

exactly. hell remember when the MS4 came out. Everybody said the same thing...why are people getting so worked up over this cam bla bla bla. Now once again, its a top choice cam. The big thing about the polluter is the TQ this cam delivers. Unfortunately I wont be one of the first to try it, but hopefully will be getting it next month.

as you said though, if it wasnt for the "RETARDS" then maybe we wouldnt have such great cams as the Trex,ms3s,vindicators, etc. Gotta start somewhere

Rule of thumb, takes about 1-2 months before you start seeing a respectful amount of results...Just because people have ordered the cam already doesn't mean its in their car. I'm having to wait until the end of next month myself due to RL events (friend's wedding, having to move stuff, family coming in) before I installing my new H/C with FAST 92 setup. Not like you can put friends and family on hold, unless you are one of those people that care only for themselves...

People just need to wait and let things play out and stop bashing.

I find humor in the names of some of the cams. I don't know when cams became worthy of names, but I decided to give my cam a unique name since I spec'd it myself. Probably showing my age a bit with it though. I was inspired by the megadeath cam.

Guys, I am creating a new cam called GLOBAL WARMING.

"Anyone can Pollute the Earth, but only WE can warm it!"

Don't let the LG or Texas Speed shipping box fool you... I just do that to confuse the competition.

Am I the only one who thinks the name "The Polluter" sounds stupid? Sounds like it will make your car run like **** and puff smoke.
