Thunder has 3 sets in stock at this time.

 

what else would be needed for a solid cam set up ( other than the cam and lifters)???

i got the crane adj. rockers, so do i need the valve cover spacer and wires??

if properly adjusted, what are the benifits of a solid valvetran when compared to a hydraulic setup?

Usually the lobes on a solid roller cam are almost square-like in their shape. They open and close the valves very fast. A side perk is that idle quality and part throttle driveability are usually improved with the more aggressive solid roller cam, because of the fact that the valves are actually spending less time off the seat. The downside is the higher cost of components, and the additional maintenance required.

 

how about noise??
will it be louder??

so if i have the rockers ,p-rods,lifters, and cam
i'll be set??
what if i use them with my current cam??
