cam lobes and idle Probably a stupid question, but here goes; do the different cam lobes used affect how the car sounds, i.e. idles? Just curious if a cam speced the same from Comp, Cam Motion, EPS, etc. will all sound the same at idle.

Yes, to a very well trained and experienced ear. The rate of the lobe (how fast the valve closes and opens, will be noticeable in the tempo.)
But cams of equal overlap will hardly be noticeable to the average Joe.
