Comp Cam's Thumper kits come with the cam, roller lifters, and new timing chain. I think its gear drive though. Those cams have a nice idle too. FYI.

I had talked to some of my "advisers/gurus" on the Thumper cams. The consensus was that, for what I want, a more conventional cam will be in order. For this build, I'm not worried about a lopey idle. More concerned with an over all low end to mid range torque motor. And I kinda want a smoother idle for this one as well. Been looking real hard at the Comp Extreme Energy, Lunati Voodoo, and Comp Magnum 4x4 line of cams. If I go with a vortec set-up (hyd. roller) it will be a whole other ball of wax then. Still will be looking for the low/mid range selection of cams. Time will tell.
There are two tools needed, duct tape and WD40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD 40.
