Comp Cams ***** Thumprs
Heres a video of what i want my car to sound like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM1EP...eature=related
After recently totaling the 2005 GT due to weather im back in black with a STOCK 2006 GT.
Heres my questions....
Are these to "radical" for daily driver use?
Will i need new valve springs?
The new car is an automatic so i assume i should upgrade the gears to 3.73's to maximize performance?
Any idea of the exhaust on the video?
I know there are a million threads on this just want to get all my questions asked in one. Thanks.

Why?? Theres a guy on here or s197 or one of the forums that did a writeup on a supercharger, cam, etc install and he originally had the ***** thumprs and switched to a blower cam and only gained 10rwhp...btw the reason people say dont use the thumprs for supercharged applications is because of the overlap which causes the lopey idle...the hot rods are the same way...thats why they have a lopey idle...the ideal LSA for supercharged applications is around 115...the thumprs are 109 and the hot rods are 110...just an fyi

The ***** Thumprs are awesome...nothing beats the sound they give your car and they give some great power too contrary to what some people may tell you...being an automatic I wouldnt worry about drivability as you wont have a clutch to worry about so you will be fine...you will not need valve springs for this cam either...you will need either phaser limiters or lockouts though...3.73s should be perfect for an auto application 4.10s would give you better response down low though because you will loose some power down low...as for exhaust I would definately get some LTs with an O/R midpipe or catted depending on how loud you want it...I have a video on youtube of mine with JBA LTs, O/R H-pipe and flowmasters and I love the sound of it...very deep...just search for "***** Thumpr 05 Mustang"...starts out with the back of my dirty black car lol
