COMP Cams Thumpr Hydraulic Flat Tappet Cam and Lifter Kits

COMP Cams is bringing the muscle car sound back, and it's nastier than ever! Let's face it--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 you demand, COMP Cams engineering team proudly introduces the Thumpr Series cam and lifter kits. 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 to maximize the rough-idling characteristics of the cams. This gives you a seriously aggressive exhaust note without negatively impacting the power output or streetability of the engine. Thumpr camshafts are available in 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 deliver a substantial power increase over an identical hydraulic flat tappet grind without sacrificing reliability or ease of maintenance.

COMP Cams High Energy Hydraulic Lifters

These High Energy hydraulic lifters from COMP Cams feature a patented, constant orifice-metering valve that precisely meters oil to the rocker arms. Continuous contact between the metering valve and the precisely coined bottom surface of the pushrod seat is maintained throughout the engine's rpm range, eliminating excessive oiling at high speeds. The pushrod seat is made of a special powdered metal iron alloy, heat-treated for strength and wear resistance. The longer piston is produced with through-hardened steel that provides more bearing surface and increased lifter longevity. These lifters have a lightweight check valve disk that allows for quicker response, resulting in increased engine speed before valve float.

COMP Cams Evolution Series Hydraulic Roller Lifters

COMP Cams Evolution Series hydraulic roller lifters with Hydraulic Cartridge Technology (HCT) are revolutionary patented tappets. A combination of a self-contained hydraulic cartridge within a thick-wall lifter body and accompanying reduced oil volume that is less effected by oil aeration delivers the most consistent bleed rates between each lifter on the market. The smaller volume within the hydraulic cartridge creates one of the most responsive and quietest lifters on the market today. Startup noise is greatly reduced, and a precision-controlled bleed down rate ensures excellent performance at high RPM. The cartridge design also allows for an incredibly stiff lifter body, greatly reducing body distortion and further ensuring consistent hydraulic performance. The patented HCT tappets are a completely new design that was developed specifically by COMP Cams to meet the demanding performance and durability required for modern street and performance street engines. The HCT and proprietary manufacturing processes of these lifters ensure precision and longevity that exceed any lifter on the market. Other features include increased duration and lift to the camshaft and two oiling features. Another industry first is the fact that the hydraulic element of this patented lifter is serviceable, allowing anyone to rebuild lifters in his or her own garage. Order the Evolution lifters recommended for your year/make and engine application.
