What kind of idle can I expect with this camshaft?

This COMP Cams Thumpr camshaft is specifically designed to produce a choppy and thumping idle sound. It's a signature characteristic of this camshaft series, giving your engine a distinct personality.

Do I need special parts to install this camshaft?

This is a hydraulic flat tappet camshaft, which means it uses standard lifters. While you'll be working on the top end of your engine, it doesn't require the specialized valvetrain components that some other camshaft designs might need.

What is the best torque converter and gear ratio to use with this camshaft?

While this camshaft can work with a stock torque converter, it performs best when paired with a 2000+ RPM stall torque converter and appropriate rear-end gearing. This combination will help you take full advantage of the camshaft's performance potential.
