Check out my first start-up vid. I know it needs tuned and there is oil on the headers which is why is smokes a little. Too many damn people talking trash on youtube. Enjoy Let me know what you think.

Not really a fan of the thumpr cams... they're designed to sound good as opposed to functioning well. Comp has all this marketing jibberish about how they're just innovative etc but Im more of a traditionalist I guess. We'll never know til soemone tries a thumpr cam and then an equivalent proper street/strip cam to see which is faster.

 

True story. I was having this conversation with another guy. They are supposed to be made for street/strip use having in mind a car to drive around town. The power on the low end is poor but once i hit 3 grand the thing takes off. Sounds like just a strip cam to me. I wanna do a comparison test probably next summer. Hopefully I can put up some facts so we actually know what were talking about with these cams.

 

Sounds great! Nice car too.

 

Thanks Bro!

 

nice car...love the red on the inside of the engine

 

glad i saw this, i was looking for cams for my future engine build and really liked the thumpr cam, now im sold on getting one

 

Yeah I really like it. Big tip though, if you get one make sure you budget for a torque converter in your build. Runs really rough without a decent stall converter. Once the converter was installed she runs like a dream.

 

i have the comp cams xe 268 duration Cam for my 83 gonna put it in soon will post Video or pictures

 

Sounds good can't wait to hear it

 

Car looks great, sounds good, a little lopey but not over the top, what type of exhust?

 

Its only a plush exhaust. Basically a cheap flowmaster. I had a borla system I purchased and went to put on but my exhaust guy talked me out of it and all he had in stock was this plush system so I went with that. I will probably change it up soon. I haven't found any REAL good sounding systems yet though. Have any ideas on something that sounds real good? I flowmaster and magnaflow seem to crackle too much for my liking on our cars.

 

i have a 1984 z28 and i built a 502 and ready to install it

 

it is a stock 5 speed car
