What cam did Tick spec, how big?

Believe what you want, I have NEVER seen a car pickup power using those heads and I myself GAINED 40+whp and Tq everywhere on the rpm range when I took his s*** heads off so I'm speaking from experience. FED heads dont make 649 from BR7's or 600 from ported stockers, maybe 590-600 and 560-570 at best. I'll say it again though, ask anyone whom uses those heads what their mph is or for a dyno graph OR if they still have the car.

It is a new cam spec they have out that has been in only 1 C6Z so far. Shane at Nemesis Racing mentioned it to me and I liked the sound and the power figures. I think it is mid-240/262 and I have to look at the messages.

I dont really understand what all the fuss is about. Their heads may not make as much hp and the next guys, big deal. Maybe WCCH don't make as much as Mamo heads. To me, its not just about big numbers, but rather reliability. I have had Frankenstein heads for almost 5 years now and have had 0 problems. I could care less if my car makes less hp.

I met Chris Franks last summer at LSFest. Super nice guy and I profiled his heads here:

Deleted.... considering I do not run their product. Probably best not to say anything.
I will say, I run WCCH stage 2 heads.... they work great for my mid-range naturally aspirated application. No complaints.

That is what everyone is saying and I decided against FED. One guy on the forum or two have had luck with them out of many.

Well I hope so! I am ready to roll, their next opening is mid-April and I am stocking up parts. What red car? I know Shane has a TT C6Z that is fast and I have heard nothing but good about him. Another thing is that his pricing is great, way cheaper than other shops within 3-4 hours. VR was booked out for 2-3 months I heard and RPM is mid-May, I was not wanting to wait that long because I want to drive the car and enjoy. Not be worrying about the heads lol.

Mustang "Boy"... I actually "race" my corvettes and do quite well for what they are... If you were local, I could show you what an Ahole I am F2F.... While crushing your Mustang nuts on the track...
Regarding the other "member"... He's a known Douche ...
Looking forward to your next post about all of your ideas regarding your build. Between you spec ing your own cam to the Frankenstein heads, it should be a beast...
My apologies to the OP for side tracking the thread... I digress..

I called you the forum a-hole for good reason and was relaying what I was told about the heads. Which is completely obvious and if he reads my thread he will see why you were referred to as that. I am glad I crack you up, because you will crack up the many who browse this forum that come across the thread and see how you acted. Especially when you attacked another member as well, you were on fire that day.

Wes is running a built 434ci stroker in his C5Z... I don't think that MSD is compatible w the heads hes running... I could be wrong. Rest assured his car is plenty FAST and built right. There are quite a few C6Z's here in Dallas w some hurt feelings....
Speaking of hurt feelings... I am going to video me crushing him @ the WGF event next month so much so that he is going to want to sell that car...

The other member seemed like a nice guy and I have not seen any douchbaggery from him. If you have read I am not going that way.
Apologies for sidetracking a thread? You ruin every thread I am in, OP is getting his laugh in at you raging.

I'll take the wheels off, maybe that'll help you.
MSD will work on my heads, I just don't know that the pickup is going to be that much over my intake.
1000 plus dollars for about 20 horsepower...meh

If you like it, Tell me what its worth to you and that's what i'll take. Your'e a friend so i'll not try to rape you money wise.. Now, when we line up it will be a different story....
Give me a call and we can discuss...

I mean mid-range or mild simply because its an all-motor set-up with a fairly mid-range mildish cam in it. (BTR stage 3 - .651/.630 - 238/250)
