Tick Performance Cam
 

So I decided to cam my vert. I ordered the Tick Performance SNS Torque Max stage 2. Also picked up an ls6 intake and potz tb. Can't wait to see what numbers it's going to put down.

That's a lot of cam. Any other mods done? Stick, auto?

It's an M6. Long tubes, SLP lid, ls6 intake, ported throttle body. It's not my daily so I didn't mind going big.

Should be a lot of fun. Take pics/vid and show us the progress along the way. Are you doing the install yourself and who is handling the tuning?

My brother owns a dealership so his mechanic is doing it. We will then trailer it to efx for the tune.

Looking forward to cranking some power out of her. :mrgreen:

Very curious about the numbers I'm going to make!

Don't get too excited, our dyno is quite stingy. We've had sub 500 hp cars go into the 9 second range.

Really? How did you get so much power out of that red lt1 bird? I think it was around 500rwhp with a stock bottom end? I'm not sure if it is one of the 9 second cars you are referring to though.

I think you're referring to Francis' DirtyBird. That car is a stock bottom end and stock casting heads with a combo that just works. Granted the car hasn't been on the dyno since the transmission was swapped to TH400. His car laid down really good power through the 4L60E and was shocked myself. His car runs good for the fact it's a battle tank. Here are a couple videos, the 9 second GN powerd mustang weight 3000lbs and made 497 horsepower and the 5.3 Mustang made similar on one stage.





This Corvette made 840 on our dyno and already has been 161 mph at Atco this passed fall.

Do you know what it runs? And can you expand more on the battle tank comment? I'm a bit confused and not well versed in drag racing nor maths :|

Battle tank= lead sled= 3800 pound car

Ok the install is finished today and I have to pick the car up because it's taking up space at the garage. It's going to be tuned in a couple weeks. Am I safe to drive it home without a tune?? I will also have to drive it to efx in February without a tune. If not I will have to coordinate to have it trailered.

How did you get it to 3800 pounds and what did it run?

The car is being dropped off at EFX. Thanks Dave. Can't wait to get it on the road.

Would really love to hear more about that dirtybird instead of the vague "ricer" replies that are meaningless.

Lol thank you for sharing!!

What would you like to know? I have been horribly out of the loop on this build. I haven't even seen or heard the car yet. I failed to get any pics or vids

Sorry, that was for posts 9, 10, 11, 12, and 14. :lol: I always love following a build along so feel free to post any pics and info you want 8-)

So the vert is done. Numbers are 366/358. I attached the graph. Not too bad for cam only and stock heads.

The Dyno numbers

The Bone Maro on the dyno.

Nice!

Is this an auto?

No it's an M6

those are nice numbers for Cam only.
