really nice man, quick question though, this is my daily driver so from your experience do they ***** thumpr cams have to much lope? like i love the sound of them but is it going to be shaking the hell out of my car when stopped? and can you still have somewhat of a conversation with a person in the passenger seat without yelling?

How much did the whole install cost you? I'd assume at least $1500?

The shop where I bring all my stuff gave me an estimate of $400 for comp cam NSR. I don't know how much more it will be for the ***** thumpr because of the cam phaser limiter to be installed. I did get a estimate of 1500 at another shop which involved the replacing of the springs and installing VSR comp cams. (that 1500 also included a tune)

Oh I know ALL about that, LOL! I flip-flopped like a million times.
I was set on Thumprs for many months, but switched back to FRPP Hot Rods due to them being easier to install and less low end loss. I also heard numerous stories about low speed (traffic) drive-ability issues w/ the Thumprs and virtually none w/ the hot rods. But, this could just be a tune thing.
I still think the ***** Thumprs sound a little better (more lopey) than the hot rods, but I'm still 100% happy w/ the hot rods. Either way you'll be loving every second of it.

btw you will love them because of the attention they bring with the sound they will give your car...I absolutely love it everytime I start my car...also after I got mine installed with possibly a slipping clutch and a 20mph headwind coming at me I pulled off a 12.41 in the quarter...never seen mufflers (a sound only mod) pull those kinda #s LoL
