Sounds like a great cam on stock heads

POLUTR Tick Performance Polluter Cam (.24x/.24x (.61x/.61x) 112LSA)

Going in a race car?
That is damn near a stroker cam. How is the power under the curve?
Thing probably needs to spin to 7000 to make its power.

What lobes is it ground on?

Not sure...

I can't seem to post the graph here, but it peaks at 6300-6400. RWHP 417 RWTQ 391. I would be putting in a street car, but probably too extreme a cam.

that would be streetable depending on your tune and rear gears...

Everyone has their own definition of streetable.

That isn't a cam for a daily driver for sure.

**PFM** · 10-07-2008, 07:52 AM

It is gonna be right there with the Trex, MS4 and the other 240+ dur. 600+ lift cams out there. No magic name is gonna help it make more torque down lower than the rest. Big cams require more stall and gearing but can be very streetable. Let me know when you make it back to N.C. and let you ride in my car. Its street driven every day and hits Fayetteville Motorsports Park every Test and Tune.

i've seen plenty of guys on here with cams like that doing DD in it...

**The Manalishi** · 10-07-2008, 10:25 AM

That is a donkey dick cam like the Trex, MS4 and several others. While some people may drive them daily on the street, it doesn't make it a streetable. Some people are more willing to deal with the surging, idle quality and general problems that cams like that cause in a street car. Me I wouldn't have that cam in anything I wanted to drive on the street on a regular basis. Also slapping the biggest cam you can find in an otherwise stock engine isn't going to produce the best track times or take advantage of matching the parts for a great combination. I'd rather have a much smaller cam with some good heads, intake and headers that will drive better and make nearly the same if not more HP .

Those people have a better tolerance for pain than I do.

I could DD mine IF I HAD TOO.
I would hate it though.

yeah... i would love to hate it... you get all pissed at the occasional surge and then you hear the lopy idle and forget all about it...

**Johns00Z28** · 10-07-2008, 01:35 PM

I could get used to that...hehe

That's on a 113 LSA.

Definitely sounds nice! I think the polluter is on a 112LSA but don't quote me. Seems like it's making some nice numbers from what I've seen over on tech. A stock cube A4 made w/ trickflow heads, fast intake and the polluter made 457rwhp...not too shabby.

**Mr. Luos** · 10-07-2008, 03:33 PM

Thanks.
My cam is bigger than the Polluter....but in a 402.

As for the 457RWHP...great numbers.
BUT...what does the curve look like?? How peaky is it?
I would rather have a full impressive powerband than a peaky cam.

Not saying the cam is bad, just wanna see the graph.

Peaky cams set-up right SCREAM!! But setting the car up for that, takes away the driveability.
