New cam
Has anyone heard anything abut the new Thumpr cam from compcams? http://www.thumprcams.com/
The sound clips sound nasty and are the kind of Idle I'm looking for in a cam. Anyone know anyhting about them yet? It's either one of these or a lunati voodoo for me.

It's crazy to buy a cam based on the sound it's supposed to give.. Have you looked at the specs to see whether or not it'll work with your combo?
I took a look, & if you're going to order one, you'll probably need a carb'd combo (factory TPI ECM won't work with the 107* LSA) & fairly deep pockets - because it's a retrofit hyd-roller cam, they're asking about $370 for it...
But then, I'm the type to want my car really quiet when it's really quick...

I already have a carb'ed setup. I wasn't too interested in the cam I just thought it was something new so I would post and see what others thought about it. Especially since the link has sound clips too.
