"Sounding angry" is just as much a function of the exhaust system as the cam. None of these cams will have the duration and centerline lobes to "sound angry" and still work with the 82 ECM

IF i were you, here's my $.02

Run the XFI252 with the Summit brand Iron Eagle heads under a Renegade intake with a Hypertech chip.
Some will argue the chip, but its running my 82 with a ZZ4 crate motor (10.0Cr, rollar cam) under a ported Xfire intake with stock injectors. All the math and conventional wisdom says it shouldn't work, but it does.

Have you done the 85-89 fuel pump upgrade yet?
Without it, no upgrades will work very well

Sorry, no video and can't make one for you (just recently sold the car). But it did sound great. Think the high compression and high flow catalitic converter did that more than the cam. Just a note, I don't think you'll ever get the lumpy mean sound without overwhelming the computer. If you put the wrong cam in there all you will get is check engine lights.

Make a phone call- People like Chris Straub will most likely know how much cam you can use and not make the computer go stupid. OR hunt a custom chip to go with whatever cam you decide on. OR both.
