Just stumbled across this now, looks like some good data! Having a hard time deciphering a little data though, for a stock displacement/bottom end LS3 with a set of good heads, say MAST/PRC whatever.. are we saying a Stage II or the Polluter would be the better match for a strong street/stripper?

Eh, I don't think I do lol! I was asking if, in your opinion, would the Stage 2 or the Polluter be the better selection for a strong street/strip vehicle? I don't mind sacrificing a little low end manner for a strong 6800 rpm screamer, just me preference.. Thanks Martin!

The Polluter would be right up your alley and yes the Stage 2 or the Polluter would be my choice for a strong street/strip vehicle.

I did and responded to it today! I've been flooded with PM's the past 2-3 weeks. I wake up each morning and after knocking down 30-40 PM's each day, I still have 30-40 every time I log on! I used to be able to respond to them all each day, but I just am not able to do that anymore. Very sorry for any delays and that goes for all of my customers.

It's just something I am known for I guess you could say for having great customer service and I feel I have let it fall to the wayside slightly because of the volume of requests I get on a daily basis. On top of the 40-50 PM's I receive and 20-30 I respond to daily, I receive at least 75-100 emails as well. Again I apologize to any and all my customers if I haven't gotten to you just yet.

Sounds like job security to me. Im patiently looking forward to hearing what you come up with for my setup.
I use to be in your situation in the archery business, but the people were beating my door down in person, not on the computer. Its all the same stress though. Good customer service, fair prices, and great quality will get you" beat the door down" customer volume every time.

LS3 Polluter cam results CAM ONLY! STOCK INTAKE, STOCK TB, STOCK HEADS, 1x7/8" headers, 3" ORX, 3" XS Power exhaust and of course the LS3 Polluter cam!

STD:

SAE:

First things I would like to say about this cam and this particular set-up. I've been personally chasing something for a while now with these square port heads. I've been a cathedral port man for a long time and shunned these heads for the longest. I always saw torque curves that looked lazy, didn't look like they had any guts to them down low or even in the mid-range, and the only thing the graphs I'd seen had going for them were semi-decent peak power numbers.

After starting my job here at Tick, I started to warm up to the square port stuff, but I still wasn't convinced quite yet that you could achieve the same shape torque curve that the cathedral port heads are so seemingly capable of achieving with the drop of a hat. After doing my own testing, and a lot of soul searching I came out with the LS3 line of square port camshafts. I really hadn't had any takers on the Polluter cam, and to be honest I was afraid it was going to be a big fat flop with no guts down low or any torque to speak of. Well, as of today I am one happy man because I've done it! I finally was able to get the shape of the torque curve I've been after for so long with these heads. I'm very happy with the 400rwtq@3700rpm for sure.

This may all sound kind of stupid to some of you guys, but I really pride myself in the work I do on these camshafts of mine. I hope you guys and future LS3 Polluter cam owners can enjoy my work as much as I am myself.

I have not had a chance to drive the car yet. I will drive it on Monday once the tune is finished to give everyone a good first hand account on drivability.

Jonathan did say that it did not drive any worse than our cathedral port Polluter camshafts and that it actually felt like it drove a little better than those cams. Several of our customers on this website have commented on how well their Polluter cams drive that were tuned well and correctly so that should say something in that regards at least!

Good set of heads along with a couple of other things and you will be well into 500 rwhp territory. May have to consider this for the 416 that is being built.....
