But Mike (Scratch) can vouch for how it ran Rickster that would be true,and yes I can vouch for the performance. unless you build the rest of the 360 to go with the thumper cam, adding comp ratio/stall/gears it will not perform like the sales add said. I would have went with a hughes whiplash in a stock 360 engine myself. idels like a funny car,smooths out around 1800-2000 rpm for red light to red light action and is a nice cruzing cam for the street. 3 of my buddys run this cam,2-318s 1-360, my 349 stroker is up next with a whiplash 318 roller cam.
