I may be in the minority here,but I think those lumpy cams sound like crap
.It reminds me of a car not running properly.Give me a nice smooth idle with tons of power(I know its hard to have both).On the plus side I bet that car rips(is fast) with that cam

I like that sound for an old muscle car, older vette (early c3 or later) or a hot rod. I personally think newer Vettes should sound refined like a modern sports car. Simple answer to keeping a clean sound with mega power in these cars is forced induction. To each his own...just agreeing with the guy above though.
Congrats to the OP on moving forward with your car though. It's always a good day when that happens.

Sounds good. Thats a good step up from what you had last time. Should run strong. I like a quicker lope idle than that, I ran my cam at around 1000 rpm to give it abit quicker, not as choppy sound but that car does sound pretty mean.
But i guess once it warms up it smooths out. What rpm was it idling at in that vid when cold start?
