Best street cam to use with Thumper E7s?
I've decided tonight that I'm going to get a set of thumper E7s (cheap GT40x performance)...what's the best street cam to use? I want low-down torque and such, but would also like a noticeable lope. Any suggestions?

honestly bro, the thumpers are not worth it, i have them on my stroker and im getting afr 165s. They are good but if your looking to do a nice h/c/i then save the money and do it well

92 - I saw that but I didn't know if they'd provide what I wanted.

I mean, honestly ErikSTANG... did you think something like that was going to do wonders on a stroker motor? 331 or 347, most people upgrade to 180cc or larger runners on their heads with stroker motors... Thumper E7's (and Similar "Powerheads") are made for down low usable power, not just all out strip performance...

I have stage three GT40's off a 93 Cobra they are ported and polished with a triple angle valve job.
those thumper heads do not flow better then mine. But to your question. Not many people here make cams. The only one I know is MyShifter and i haven't seen him in forever. Depending on what you want, what gears you have, what your CR is....etc is how you determin what cam to get. call cam help.

the thumpers on mine were jus for the time being(ran out of $$ for the heads when i orginally built the engine). I was trying to say, i guess the way i came across was wrong, that if your spending the money, save alittle longer and get the better. Sorry if I mis led him.

I had a custom cam made for Thumpers and nitrous. It was almost identical to a Comp XE270HR-14. I ran basically the same cam with 1.7s. It worked well for me. Stock 148k shortblock, Thumpers, Performer RPM, that custom cam made 262rwhp 328rwtq through an AOD and 428rwhp 567rwtq on the bottle.
