It's a little bit too much lope for my tast. Don't get me wrong, I think it sounds bad A$$. A reall viper killer. Or anything else for that matter. Just a little to agressive for my daily driver.

The cam in John's car is practically the biggest hydraulic roller we could stuff in it! The new 434 packages we offer will be featuring XER lobes, with less duration... But, the lobes have more area, so technically they should idle smoother, AND make more power! We're trying to get John to put one in his car, but he's happy with his rowdy idle underpowered 562 rwhp :-D

Default muscle car sound

wicked sounding cam! I'm wondering what kind of thunderous noise would come out of that thing if they installed flowmaster.

I was wondering if that car stalls out on cold starts? Was also wondering if it lets out a foul smell?

We did my stang two years ago and she stunk everytime I was stopped at a light. That was the downside of having a beast.
