COMP Cams Thumpr Hydraulic Roller Cam and Lifter Kits

COMP Cams is bringing the musclecar sound back, and it's nastier than ever! Few things serve to grab our attention at a car show or cruise night more than a car with a thumping, high performance idle. In an ongoing quest to provide you with the performance and sound that you demand, COMP Cams' engineering team proudly introduces the Thumpr Series hydraulic roller cam and lifter kits. They are designed for use in engines that were originally equipped with flat tappet camshafts. The lobe profile and grind characteristics of these Thumpr camshafts use a combination of an early exhaust valve opening, a long exhaust duration, and a generous amount of intake and exhaust overlap. They're designed to maximize the rough-idling characteristics of the cams, giving you a seriously aggressive exhaust note without negatively impacting the power output or streetability of the engine. They are available in three different grind profiles. Each one will produce a rough, racy exhaust note and impressive amounts of horsepower and torque within a different rpm range. Thumpr Series cam and lifter kits feature a cutting-edge hydraulic roller design that delivers a substantial power increase over an identical hydraulic flat tappet grind without sacrificing reliability or ease of maintenance.

Trick Flow® Twisted Wedge® Track Heat® 170 Cylinder Heads for Small Block Ford

Something great just got better! Twisted Wedge 170 cylinder heads now feature updated A356-T61 machined castings previously reserved for Trick Flow's 11R series heads, including a .625" thick deck for more power-making strength. The castings' billet-like appearance seriously increases the cool factor too. Twisted Wedge 170 cylinder heads have Trick Flow's pioneering Twisted Wedge combustion chamber to reduce valve shrouding and enhance high-lift flow. The design features altered 15° intake/17° exhaust valve angles, which tightens the combustion chamber for increased compression and improved piston-to-valve clearance. That allows the use of higher lift cams with stock pistons—even with the 2.020" intake valves! CNC-profiled combustion chambers with relocated spark plugs optimize combustion efficiency, and a choice of 58cc or 61cc combustion chamber volumes allow builders to dial-in the perfect compression ratio. High-efficiency, Fast As Cast® runners and a competition level, multi-angle valve job deliver near-CNC-ported power and airflow at cast head prices. Assembled Twisted Wedge 170 cylinder heads come with top-quality stainless steel valves, bronze guides, PAC Racing valve springs, thread-in 3/8" or 7/16" rocker studs, and chromoly retainers to ensure great durability and longevity. Some Twisted Wedge 170 cylinder heads are emissions-legal under CARB E.O. #D-747-1 for 1996 and earlier Ford 289, 302, and 351W engines. Cylinder heads are available fully assembled or as bare castings. Sold individually.
