Question Cam Swap

I have a 5.3l that I am going to put a Edelbrock Performance Manifold Kit and a Thumpr Comp Cam and a 750cfm holley double pumper and a set of Comp Beehive Valvesprings in the stock heads. Dose any one think I will have any problems with this setup. Oh I forgot the MSD that gose with the manifold kit.

well you will gain power with the thumper cam it is mainly for sound but not as much as you could with other choices. what all is this going in ?

Sounds like a street rod setup...as mentioned, it will sound mean, but there are better more efficient cam options out there...

i had a 86 silverado that i swapped a lq9 in with the edelbrock intake and msd 6ls ignition i used the edelbrock 2216 cam 230/237, 540 lift on a 110 lsa ran awsome and sounded great with a pretty rough idle. edelbrock said it was a perfect match for that intake on a 5.7 but im sure it would work great in a 5.3 with the right converter and gears. and with the 2216 cam you can run ls6 springs with no problem.
