Competition Cams – Big Mutha’ Thumpr 243/257 Hydraulic Roller Cam for AMC 290-401 (Part No.10-602-11)
from
$643.99
Designed to deliver an aggressive, hard-hitting exhaust note at idle, the Thumpr camshaft series from COMP Cams also delivers excellent horsepower gains and a broad torque curve. A perfect choice for muscle cars and street rods, the Thumpr series’ early intake valve opening and long exhaust duration create optimum overlap for that race car idle. The Thumpr grinds all require an aftermarket torque converter and lower gear ratio to ensure the drivetrain always puts the engine in its powerband. Additionally, Thumpr camshafts typically deliver reduced vacuum at idle, making a vacuum canister, pump or hydroboost a requirement for vehicles running power brakes.

Product Features:
Competition Cams – Xtreme Energy 212/218 Hydraulic Roller Cam For Amc 290-401 (Part No.10-801-11)
from
$643.99
Featuring a quicker valve opening, the Xtreme Energy camshaft profile provides increased responsiveness and more area under the lift curve than older, slower grinds. Designed to increase performance without sacrificing driveability and creature comforts, the Xtreme Energy grind family offers gains in torque and horsepower while still delivering adequate vacuum for power brakes and other vacuum dependent accessories. Xtreme Energy camshafts work great in carbureted applications, but offer the best performance with aftermarket intake manifolds, lower gear ratios, headers and free flowing exhaust.
