Building An Old School Street Rod Engine? Put A Thumpr In It! New Grinds For Old Engines

If you are building an old school street rod, complete with an old school engine we’re going to suggest a new school approach to your camshaft that’s deliver lots more than old school results. What we’re talking about are Thumpr Cams from COMP who have just announced a slew of new grinds for engines that run through mills like the Ford Flathead, the Buick Nailhead, Oldsmobiles, Cadillacs, Y-blocks, and more.

Of course the signature of the Thumpr cam is the sound. Designed to deliver the most gnarly and angry idle as is possible but still maintaining the performance standard that you expect out of any COMP product.  Having run one of these babies in a small block Chevrolet we can tell you that they deliver. The Thumpr cams are not just sound makers as they have performed very well in various head to had cam tests over the years.

If you want people at shows to hear you coming and then admire the engine that is making all the good noise, a Thumpr may be the ticket! Learn more below!
