I found a good video for people interested in thumpr from comp cams It's not my video, but I've listened to it a bunch and he has a couple more of the same car. I'm thinking about getting one, it's not ideal in my truck but will do fine and sound better than fine with a dual exhaust and cherry bomb vortex mufflers. They now have a flat tappet version with lifters for $218 for a small block. I emailed the owner in the video and he says the engine is a crate 350 with the mild thumpr cam PN#CL12-600-4.
I see a lot of people saying they hate thumpr cams but i also notice they get the wildest one and put it in about as wrong an application as possible.
Here's the vid

That sounds great..
-
:'( That is the sweetest sound in the word...
-
I want!!

That does sound really really good. The Flowmaster Super40s are having a fair bit to do with that but you can for sure hear the lope. What does that cam spec out at? Sounds a fair bit beefier that my setup.
This is similar to the same cam I have: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ_5NMiDJNA&feature=related
That cam is the Comp 268 High Energy and I have the 268 Xtreme Energy (has more lift and fast-ramp lobes)
Found a vehicle with my cam: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUeYHtFUHvM&feature=related
Youtube is great for finding different cam sounds and muffler sounds. I could listen for hours!!

Here's the specs:

Both of those cams sound real good too.
I like that thumpr because it reminds me of the old mustang. The mustang idled a little bit rougher, but not much. I grew up around cars that sounded like that and i can't get enough of em. I want it as rough as possible, without having to two-foot it around town, if ya know what I mean. I don't care for the exhaust on that '57 too much, I don't like the hollow chambered-muffler sound. I'm going to give those cherry bomb vortex a try. They're supposed to combine, glasspack, turbo and chambered muffler technology all in one, well we'll see one day. :D

Cool, thanks for the specs. It's a step or so wilder than mine is. I'm sure it would be a fun cam so long as you have some decent gears for it.
Speaking of mufflers, when I re-do my exhaust I think I'm going with Hooker Aerochamber for much of the same reasons you are thinking of the Vortex's. I have true dual 2 1/4" right now with H pipe, no cats, 2.5" Dynomax Ultraflows with 3" tips. It sounds good with a nice gurgle to it and nice snappy sound when I'm on it, much like a glasspack when I think of it, but I'd like a bit more of a snarl and I like the design of the Aerochambers. Kinda different too than the usual Flowmasters or Magnaflows.

Those sound great! 8)

I want to get the X4262H, there's no video though for the way that the one I want sounds but here's the specs:

Those Thumpr cams sound real nice.
-
Here's the cam I think I'm going to get. It's a lot milder than a thumpr, should be a good all around cam. mostly i just drive the truck empty anyway so it'll be fine
Comp xtreme energy 268.

Yep, it's a good all-around cam. Even CompCams said in an article that they figure it's their best all-around cam they have.
