Default Tick performance TorqueMax stg3 cam+New results!

Has anyone used this camshaft? Ive searched an didnt come up with anything much. So i'm making an post to see if theres some info out there...... Im ready to do a cam swap to drop ETs more. Stock cam has pulled me (well my wife) to an best of 11.25@119 best mph has been 122. Mods are Fast 102 intake, vararam cold air intake, long tubes, 3600 yank which has gotten an best of 1.54 60ft, wheels n tires drag radails. I tune with the HPtuners, dyno'ed 357hp with 407tq.. had some help from Subfloor also.....i wanted the polluter cam but martin from tick says the torquemax will work alot better for my combo. soooo id like to hear more about this cam. this is an forum so im asking questions.

Car is an ls2 A6....

I would take martin's advise as he is very knowledgeable on this subject and produces some killer builds.

Well cam kit is installed....wasn't as bad as i've heard it was..Didn't have any problems with the balancer, or balancer bolt, or the power streering pump bolts dunno... I got it running with an ok idle an drive tune....going to get it dyno'd before I get on it tho.... with the lil tuning ive done it drives good, no surging like I've been hearing about. but I do have an stall converter so that helps. Stall converter does seen a lot tigher now feels more like an 2800 vs 3600. but idle is now 950rpm vs 650rpm so that takes away for the stall slip....I see an 4000 stall in the future Cant wait to get it professionaly tuned!

That is a great return for a cam change and your 60 foot time is great, what tires and size you are using?

Wow, that's great. 77hp and a 10 second pass with a cam change! You could do commercials for all the camshaft manufacturers.


Did the track chase you off for no rollbar?
