1969 Camaro SS - Cams Mutha Thumpr Cam - Idle outside

[TheeCougarKid]

whats duration at .50??



[schmbrt96]

Stock carb? I want to put this cam in my 305 but I didn't know if I needed a different carb.

[MrStx101]

Nothing beats old school

[BLastyboW]

Fucking Bad Ass

[jfreakgaming13]

@BLastyboW AMEN!!!

[TheGazdik]

would i need valve/head work after installing this cam?

[OldsPowered69]

@TheGazdik valve springs would be a must..but other than that you really don't NEED anything else per say, given you have adequate spark and fuel delivery.

[velvetsnape]

American Muscle is where its at. Back when GM and Mopar were decent companies. Now days you couldn't pay me to get one. My dream cars are: Eleanor (from "Gone in 60sec"), a 1965 Mustang, 1969 Camaro SS, and a '68 RS.

[akaknocksville]

I HATE THESE CARS,BUT IT LOOKS SUPER AND SOUNDS EVEN BETTER !!

[COMPCams]

Amazing Camaro I'm sure you got a lot of time getting this ride as cherry as it is. It is beautifully done. Glad to see our Thumpr Cams in action! Great video.

[MrGlock1971]

@cmcamaro96 Why not a daily driver. Whats wrong with that cam?

[1955RodHot]

I'll take it!

[synthetic509]

@MrShortbed83 No. I talked to summit and they recommended the thumper cam for my vette for driving/street racing. It was also the best cam recommended to me for the automatics which is what I have. I am currently putting my cam in so ill be doing lots of driving with it in a few days it should be great : )

[vetttech1999]

I like it,,,alot !

[1965mustangfb]

American muscle> import

[Hankhill90210]

Is that what it sounds like warmed up?

[cmcamaro96]

That's warmed up

[dannysauer]

Sounds good, etc. But the thing I want to know - why do people cover up their license plates? I mean, it's uncovered when you're on the road / parked at the grocery store / etc, and those people can actually follow you home + see your face. It's not a secret. What could I *possibly* do by knowing your license plate number?

[vertrider75]

@dannysauer your license plate is connected to your house address, social # and all other valuable info crooks can use....

[dannysauer]

@vertrider75 Think about that for a second. :) Your license plate is viewable in public every time you take your car out of the garage. If it was sensitive information, then it would be a bad idea to have it on the back (and, in most states, the front) of your car. If you pay enough, you can get a mailing address (mine's a PO Box), a name, a phone number (all in the phone book), and info about the car and driver's record. Not a huge deal, and the same risk as just driving to the store...

[cmcamaro96]

When you put something on You Tube its out there for the entire world. Just a few more then cruising around my town:)

[dannysauer]

You're at 36K views, which is respectable - but also a fairly small town. Only 314 people live in my town, though, so I suppose I'll accept that argument. ;)

[sealteamnavy]

@vertrider75 It is when you are driving down the street with it as well. No need to get overly concerned.

[Bluestrepsils]

Beautiful!!

[crazybry79]

Instant wood. Thanx for the chubby!

Sweet car man!

[jrek2k6]

i love this car!! hopefully i can get one soon :)

[MustangFord666]

69 was the mutha funkin yearr

[chihawks31]

is this 2.5 inch exhaust? h pipe or x pipe? thanks

[FatDroBlunt]

nice car



[RippedJolt]

Oh my fucking god D:

look at that?

will you marry me?

Wait sorry i cant do it... id only be using you to get to the car :L

[funnycar4000]

god dam, that 69 has got to be the best looking camaro out of all the older models

[cmcamaro96]

Thanks man!

[SteveDuck71]

@funnycar4000

Dude that cam sounds so AWESOME! I'm thinking about using one in my 66 pickup. Are you still liking it now that you've driven it for a while?

[cmcamaro96]

Yes I still enjoy it!

[cmcamaro96]

It works really well with my 4 speed setup. They make a lot of power, however i would not recommend running this cam in a automatic without a high stall converter.

[jesterx18]

@cmcamaro96 why is the high stall conv so important with this cam? it says on the sight to at least have a 2500 but what if you dont?

[cmcamaro96]

A higher stall converter allows the engine to rev up more before it engages the transmission. A stock stall engages the trans below the thumpr cam's power range. If you leave your stall stock you will notice that the car is very sluggish until you rev it up a bit. A factory cam with a factory stall is designed for daily stop and go driving, the power band is low in the RPM range. Good power down low means a loss of power up top. A manual car makes it easy to deal with a bigger cam:)

[blackjackdrift]

engine size?

[cmcamaro96]

350

[GMdrivingMOPARguy]

Does this cam have any negative effect on vaccume? Does it mess with power brakes and stuff?

[cmcamaro96]

It does lower vacuum at idle. However, if you bump the idle up a bit, you shouldn't have a problem.

[bumpin1ohm]

BEAUTIUL!!!!

[MsNEEKA1]

love dat comp cam chevys rock

[thugstylef]

so this is the "mutha Thumpr" version of the three

[cmcamaro96]

That's correct

[BlackLabelFREAK]

is that with or without headers?

[cmcamaro96]

With - Hooker Long Tubes

[lucasmudbog05]

69 had the sweetest look of the camaro

[beeser99]

That's pretty sweet alright!

I've got a 454 in a 1966 GMC with a similar-sounding lope, (Comp XE 284H) and those Flowmaster 40's have the exhaust note that I'm looking for, too.

[beeser99]

I also forgot to mention that I'm going to be running a hydroboost brake system (runs off of P/S pump) so I won't have to worry about vacuum.

[cmcamaro96]

awesome!

[cmcamaro96]

I do love the sound!

[68stang73]

where did you set your initial timing at? i have same cam and having issues trying to set it properly.

[cmcamaro96]

I have it set around 12 degrees BTC

[gcravillion]

heard those actually hurt the performance of the car AKA vaccuum, and HP. I would rather have something that sounds and adds HP. Nice car though :)

[cmcamaro96]

It will lower your idle vacuum some. Definitely makes more power though!

[chevroletiroc]

WHAT TYPE OF COMPRESSION U HAVE?

[cmcamaro96]

Not sure I didn't build the engine, sounds like at least 9:1 to me.

[illbreakurface]

@cmcamaro96 would that cam be good for a daily driver

[cmcamaro96]

I wouldn't want it in my daily driver:) Its pretty finicky at low RPM. Its fun to drive but not all the time:)

[illbreakurface]

@cmcamaro96 do u think it would cause any damage or really bad wear to the engine if i was to put it in a daily driver?cause i heard its a pretty big cam

[MrBigblockman572]

What size cam is that?

[cmcamaro96]

287/ 305, Lift .489/ .476 106 LSA

[smlfrye]

gorgeous car man

[728STEEN]

hey thats my cars twin sister!!,,very nice..cortez!!!!!

[wmlhhr2006]

That definitely sounds nice! I am running a 1969 camaro ss 350 with the HO 350 crate motor that has an honest 350hp and was wondering what all did you have to do for your current setup and what is the part number for the thumper cam you have? Thanks

[ddragon63]

ow much vacuum you get outta that cam? and braking issues?

[cmcamaro96]

Haven't put a vacuum gauge on it yet, its probably pretty low, The brakes work pretty well though. I have since bumped the idle up a little bit.

[cmcamaro96]

It's running about 6 PSI at idle, fairly low

[Regislovato]

What a beauty! I'm a die hard Ford guy, but I've always had a special place in my heart for the '69 Camaro.

[computergurujp]

super fucking clean

[cmcamaro96]

Thanks man!

[tones2SS]

Car looks and sounds awesome! About hom much of a RWHP gain do you think you got with the THUMPR? THANKS!

[cmcamaro96]

Not exactally sure havent run it on a dyno, But I would say 20 to 30 hp

[tones2SS]

WOW. Very nice. That many horses and a killer lope! ENJOY!!

[odysseyman7]

What do you have set at...nice car and nice sound

[cmcamaro96]

The cam is set to zero degrees and the initial timing is around 12

[BigBADArt89]

I just got the Mutha Thumpr Cam in my ss 69 last night. Shit, the sound and power gains are amazing. This video inspired to get the cam asap! thanks man

[cmcamaro96]

Thats great! Have fun, It's nice to know my car inspires people, I've worked hard on it! Post a video so I can check out your 69. What type of cam were you running before?

[lilwoodford]

Man thats a bad ass camaro dawg. How does that cam perform. Does it perform like it sounds? If it does thats whats up. Nice car im thinking about that same kind of camshaft.

[cmcamaro96]

It performs well, I had a 268 High energy cam prior. The thumpr made significant power gains.

[jake17201]

what kinda vacuum does the thumpr pull at idle? is it streetable?

[cmcamaro96]

Low vacuum at idle, I have a 4 speed so its easy to keep the rpm's up when coming to a stop with power breaks. Would definitely need a high stall with an auto trans. I enjoy driving it, some might think it would be a challenge to drive.

[728STEEN]

nevermind i seen your other video,,, just great

[728STEEN]

very very nice and sounds great too hey what kind of headers in there?

[728STEEN]

wohh like looking in a mirror!! i own the exact same camaro lol mines a 4 spd

[cmcamaro96]

Thats awesome! This one is a 4 speed also, M-21
