That'll do it. Ground for sound...

Keep the fine print in mind..."Needs 9:1 Compression, 2500+ Stall, Intake, Gears & Headers" ... and don't expect your 350 perform well without all that.

It'll probably sound good though!

I have a friend that uses one of those cams and has to run 24 degrees of initial advance to get it to even run right. Why he hasn't yarded that thing out of his 350 is beyond me.

The Muthathumpr is the most extreme one , but they make a less radical one called the Thumpr. Other than that, I don't know anything more about it though.

If you want a lopey sound, I would go with a cam with 230*+ @.050 and a 108 LSA.

Flowmasters. They can make anything sound good, plus headers.

Also advancing the timing induces more "thump".

Although they won't work as well as a cam. They can get you by or amplify a cam change.

Check out a Crane 274h06 grind. Elgin, Summit, and others also offer a version of it. 218@.050 duration but ground on a 106 lobe separation. Works well with lower compression ( 8.75-9.5 ), but still has a rough idle. Works well in a stock to mildly modified small block.

Wow 106 LSA, will that even idle less than a grand?
