What kind of torque converter should I use with this camshaft?

This Edelbrock Rollin' Thunder camshaft requires a high stall torque converter. Using a stock or lower stall converter may not provide optimal performance and could lead to issues.

What other components are recommended to get the most out of this camshaft?

Edelbrock recommends pairing this camshaft with their Performer RPM Intake manifold, Thunder Series AVS Carb, and E-CNC 215 cylinder heads for maximum performance gains. Using these components together helped achieve 460 HP and 424 Ft Lbs of Torque in testing.

Does this camshaft come with lifters?

Yes, this camshaft includes flat tappet lifters. It is designed for use with stock roller lifters, so separate roller lifters are not included.
