If you're looking to add a bit of muscle and a distinctive idle sound to your 1968-1979 Cadillac with a 425, 472, or 500 cubic inch engine, this kit is a solid choice. It's built for a high-performance street application and is engineered to produce that sought-after choppy or thumping idle that many enthusiasts appreciate.

This kit includes the Thumpr 226/241 hydraulic flat camshaft and matching lifters, ensuring proper valve train geometry and lift. For optimal performance, COMP Cams recommends using this kit with a torque converter of 2000 RPM or higher, along with appropriate rear-end gearing. While it can work with a stock converter, you'll see the most significant improvement in power and that aggressive idle with the recommended setup. The kit comes complete with everything you need to get started: the camshaft, lifters, assembly lube to ensure a smooth break-in, decals, and detailed instructions.
