I had a 230/236 605 lift on a 108 lsa that sounded pretty nasty through open exhaust on a stock motor. Not too big that it wasn't daily driven but enough.

Click the "Trex Idle" links at this link full of videos, the open header video is super dark but it sounds nasty! This was in my old LS1 RX7

Anything with decent duration in the 108-110 LSA range will probably scare most people.

Overlap determines sound.

The higher the duration and narrower the LSA, the more choppy the sound.

That X1 cam is very much underrated. It makes great torque and sounds phenomenal. I ran 11.30's with it. I had 4 different cams in my C5 and 2 and my C6, that X1 was by far my favorite. Also, it was the only cam that made over 400 pounds of torque without heads.
I highly recommend it.

I think the sickest I've heard is sprayedc5's car. The cam is something like 257/266 with 110LSA. Even in a 402 that's insane.
