Description:

I Pulled my SNS 3 cam (235/243 | .630/.610 | 111+2 LSA. If anyone wants it. Was ran NA on dual springs and morel lifters and also when I went procharged. Ive now went custom grind since I was gearing out and I have plans to have the 9” regeared this winter and this cam IMO really shines with 4.10/4.11s. I’m a tooner so take it with a grain of salt, it bucked at very low rpm and speed but drove just fine down the road. Definitely a nasty sounding cam at idle. Has about 30k miles on it. Lobes look fine to me, can see witness marks of lifters on the lobes with no edges on either side of the wheel path that catch a fingernail.  Shoot me an offer.

Buddy of mine has that in his Camaro. Cam is great! He also has 4:10's with a 6spd, and long tubes. The low speed bucking goes away with more timing, and a little more fuel. His car went 12.3 with just those mods.

How would this cam do with autocross? 2nt gear only on most tracks.

I chose this cam out of the sea of big NA shelf cams due to its 400ish flat torque curve and ability to make big power without needing spun to 7k, however it will carry power that far if you ask it. Search for people posting dyno results with this cam and you’ll get an idea. Going from a stock cam to this theoretically should make you faster if you overlook the skill set factor; since this cam will be more likely to kick out and will require more finesse on the gas pedal on exits. In my car with tsp heads it would easily blow tires in 2nd gear with street tires when NA. From 2nd gear rolls it would pull until around 4k and start hazing the tires if that gives you an idea of the powerband. It felt around 3-3500 it really started to pull hard and just kept on going..

Do note if you do decide to go with something like this for extended high rpm I would strongly advise on a stable valvetrain upgrade.

I’m not really looking to make a lot off of this, it’s just an awesome cam spec’d by the legend Martin Smallwood when he worked at tick and I don’t want to just chuck it.

I usually shifted around 67-7k on mine. I always felt it peaked around 6400ish but you know how that goes lol. Do you have a fast on your setup? I too loved this cam. Sounds nasty and gets many compliments and made plenty of low end with close to 11:1 compression. My new cam is a 228/244 .612/.612 113+3LSA

I miss read and thought it was the Polluter V2 239/244 (which I run) you were selling. I run a msd Airforce intake, 11.5 :1 compression.

My buddy runs the one you're selling and is on par with your description and it runs damn hard also.
