nice lope

Have a 2000 stock. Would like to add a nice cam that would give it a nice lope at idle. Not looking for great hp gains just something that sounds good and any hp gains would be appreciated. A nice cam with stock heads.

Note on lope. It is caused by reversion. Next cycle intake valve opens before the previous cycles exhaust valve closes. As stated, mine is a 113. I have a nice lope sound. I know someone else with the same cam specs as mine but, LSA is 114. He has no lope and sounds stock.

Hope that helps.

I don't know what exhaust you have , but you might be able to get what you're after by changing the system. Just a thought.

This is what I did to my 2K Vert a few months ago. I wanted the same thing you're looking to do...
