Comp Cams 3V Thumpr NSR
Comp Cams 3V Thumpr cams. NSR but need phaser limiters.

These sound pretty close to the FRPP Hot Rods. I don't know the power gains from these. I also wonder how hard is it to install the phaser limiters. At least they're NSR.
If these end up making significantly more HP than Hot Rods, I may have to reconsider.
I found this link on Sutton HP's site and these will be available on 08/15/08.
EDIT: Whoops. It's Thumpr, not Thumper.

They do sound nice! Very similar to the FRPP hotrods. Do you have a part number for those comp cams? Would like to check them out. I can't see why they would need phaser limiters though.

I can't find a part number. Check back on suttonhp.com on the 15th.
Here's comp's reason for phase limiters:
I suspect these will be the most powerful NSR cams to date b/c of this.
I very much look forward to seeing specs and dyno runs with these as well as finding out how the install of this limiter is.
Here's comp's reason for phase limiters:
What does the COMP Cams® Phaser Limiter Kit do?
These limiter plates replace the factory back-plate on the cam phaser. They have posts which extend into the cam gear’s control chambers, limiting their movement to no more than 20 degrees. This gives more piston to valve clearance and lets you install bigger, more powerful camshafts with safe piston to valve clearances. While keeping up to 20 degrees of movement available, all the wide-open throttle benefits of the cam phasing are retained, since the normal retard the cams see at wide-open throttle is only around 9 degrees.[/b]

From what I have read from mustang gurus is: Stick with stock cams unless you plan on going F/I otherwise you will probally loose power, especially in the lower ranges. Getting cams for sound is retarded.

You will have to fill in the **** with "m o dd ed mustangs" (without the spaces) to get the link to work. I'm sure you allknow the site. Apparently,"mustangforums.com" feels mentioning another competing site is going to destroy them. This site has its ownmuch bigger issues like using antiquated forum software for one.

In regards to the cams, I'm really hoping this doesn't mean that not using phaser limiters on FRPP Hot Rods is a bad idea since they have the same lope.
