Edelbrock Releases New Rollin’ Thunder Cam For Small Block Chevy Engines – The Sounds AND The Fury!

The thing about hot rodders is that we want everything. It isn’t enough to have an engine that makes great power, we want to let the world know it is doing so through the way it sounds. Companies like Edelbrock stay up at night thinking of ways to appease every proclivity that us hot rodders have and that’s why products like the new Rollin’ Thunder cam exist. By creating a cam that delivers that really awesome lumpy idle that we all love yet still manages to work happily with vacuum controlled brakes and other components on your car, Edelbrock is giving you the best of both worlds. Oh, there’s also the last element which is making power.

No one wants to stick a cam in, get great sounds and go slower, right? These guys have engineered this cam to make more juice in the 1,500-6,500 RPM range and to be honest that is where the vast majority of street performance small blocks are living so it makes perfect sense. This cam was part of a 450hp+ 383ci stroker package that the company tested its performance in so if you are in the mood for more rumble and more power, the new Rollin’ Thunder cam from Edelbrock may be just your ticket!

HERE’S THE FULL SCOOP FROM EDELBROCK!
