    I have the thumpr cam. I like it despite all the bad people talk about it. I have a 3000-3200 stall prolly should have gone a little higher from what my brother says. When I drove it last it had factory TC. It pulls to about 7200 and breaks both tires loose at 45 + Chris@lsxps did a great job of tuning it. pulled an extra 20 hp and like 30 tq more than the tune from speedtek. And it loves the 4.10s

    I would say 4.30 or 4.56 gear

    Most sports require one ball, motocross requires two.

    Racing isn't a matter of life and death, it's much more important than that.

    Still gonna be a DD tho, dont want too tall a gear. I still do some highway driving from time to time. 4.10s were my "sensible" choice, lol

    Sounds like a good setup. When I was building my engine I was trying to decide on the cam. Wanted a nice chop but nothing extreme. So I went with the 112lsa. After hearing all the 109 and 110lsa cams now I want one! Plan on swapping the 243 heads back on so maybe while I'm doing that I'll change the cam.
