Default Honest Opinions on Thumpr Cams

What do you guys think of them? Has anyone seem them run first hand? I've heard numerous times they're "all bark and no bite." What do you guys think?

although custom is the best option there are a lot of proven cams out there that can make good #'s and suit your needs cheaper..

It doesn't cost any more to have a custom cam ground than it does to buy one off the shelf.

Thumprs were designed with sound in mind, but that doesnt mean they completely forgot about power.

Now if you looking for that last 5hp get a custom cam. If sound is extremely important but you dont want a huge cam to get that sound and are willing to give up a pony ot two... Go Thumpr!!
