1967 Chevelle with 454 big mutha thumper cam

I noticed the pattern on the roof, looks pretty cool man, sounds like a beast can’t wait to see more of it!

[@diamendking]

Thanks . With Drag racing you could just run a high end deep cycle battery and just keep a spare one all charged up to switch out when needed. Because at the track. It'll last multiple passes on just the battery. 12v, 14v or 16v batteries all work good..

[@davehattey6567]

Why is the front so high up? Cam does sound killer. It won't sound like the rest on cruze nights

[@diamendking]

My coil springs were bad all away around. But worst in the back and driver side Front so the driver sat low and the passenger side really high . I installed new springs and shocks sense then , I'm installing coilovers soon with drop spindles and swapping those rims off.

[@trillrifaxegrindor4411]

@@diamendking you dont need coilovers ,just cut about 1 coil out of your new springs and re install them(use a cut off wheel and dont overheat the springs) it will drop about 1 1/2" to 2" ....this needs a set of vette rallies but maybe 17" and it would look sick.

[@justincooper5189]

Nice. Also, if you want to, you could probably turn the high beams into a ram air setup. The inner headlights aren't needed at the track, so hell, why not right?

@@Hammy1088 it depends on the heads. Typically they may need a valve spring swap. thats really it. Unless they have gm duel springs already installed from factory like mines then you should be good. Just have to check clearances.

Thanks so much for what you add toI went ahead and bought that intake for my 67 Chevelle 454 but I have a SS hood and it doesn't fit now I'm wondering what I should do? Is yours a 2-inch or 4-inch cowl hood

[@diamendking]

4 inch to 5 1/2" in the center over the carb

[@diamendking]

A 4 inch cowl is good enough to clear quite a bit. I have my twin turbos setup on now with a bigger intake than that one in this video and a 1" spacer and I still have some room

[@djrosa773]

Thank you for getting back to me I'm looking at getting the 2-inch cowlright now I have an SS hood with the grills and I'm going to miss it but sometimes I think these cars look cooler with a black head but the cow always like that old school look thank you so much for your communication I really appreciate it man

I had to turn up my brightness, but god damn the phones don’t do no justice on sound. Sounds bad ass. I got a 68 Chevy C20, dropping the big block in it, gonna dress it up little by little, is that cam worth it? Never heard of it.. I wanna run dual quad intake manifold, looking for a header... running only 400 trans for the mean time. Till I get a power glide .

[@Eatmydick666]

I’m looking at hooker headers and running a flame thrower kit on it to do a little show off. Electric fan and aluminum cooler is next... you dressed that bitch up... hat goes off to you brother.

[@diamendking]

Thanks . The big mutha THUMPER cam is a good street /strip cam . A lot of guys down play its performance. But it can still add 100+ hp to the right combination. Of course it can't compete with a high lift Custom grind. But for Starters or half street ,half strip its Nice! . Once you install it . It brings the BASS.

[@cfrank925]

This cam sounds amazing!! Will it work on a stock 454 by just upgrading the springs? No clearance issues?

[@diamendking]

@@cfrank925 yeah, a spring upgrade. Should be it. With stock 1.7 rockers . Your idle might tick up to around 850 -950 range. That's about it ..

[@sws5833]

new comment to an old video but I have a 454 in my camaro with the same cam, having trouble getting the timing right, diesels a bit when I shut it down and its pretty hard starting when hot, any recommendations for the degrees and rpm at idle

[@diamendking]

Where are you setting up your base timing? Each Engine is Different , I would plug /dis connect vacuum adjustments if your using Hei or similar spark control. And set base timing off idle rpm taking in consideration for your total timing goal. If I recall mine liked 900 - 1100 rpm. You will most likely have to adjust the throttle accordingly around the timing. Don't just use the throttle screw to set rpms. It a combo deal between timing and throttle

[@diamendking]

Also I believe dieseling can be a effect of running overly rich With timing being alittle off. Along with other reasons

[@98austin76]

if you havent already, get rid of that distributor, unless its just a swapped cap, i had one on mine and i revved it and the distributor exploded, dont wanna see anyone else get stranded bc of it

[@diamendking]

I locked it out and ran a crank trigger. But it still came apart. They're junk . Thanks for the warning even though I just seen it today.

[@desifrazier6860]

Man that's sweet I want to change my stock cam to little over stock I look at some thumper cam some saying they had problems what about you really like to know thanks

[@diamendking]

It's all good Imo . It brings the bass and hp. . You might need a valve spring swap depending on what you have now . And depending on your setup . Your idle may be around 900 or so. But that's it

good that their gone, because the bigger the rims, the more power it takes to rotate them, so if a car gas 500hp, and it takes 25 hp per rim away, thats 100 hp loss, plus it ruins the look of the car, i hate big rims on cars
