eh?

You need to base cam specs on more than just noise. And as for best sounding, well everyone will have an opinion and non will be right or wrong. I may like a sound you really hate or vice versa.

Plus, heads, intake, exhaust, mufflers and idle will affect the sound just as much.

If you truly want a nasty sounding cam, then quite simply you need a nasty cam! But with it will come all the woes of such a setup.

overlap = lope

The Thunder Racing TREX has a lot of overlap for an a off the shelf cam, but you'll need all the supporting mods for driveability and durabilities sake.

If you're gonna talk the talk you better be able to walk the walk!

the f13 cam is a good one. i don't know what your really after, but i have the f13 with long tubes, no cats and tsp true duals and it sounds pretty nice.

Did not search found this on page 2:

Poll: Meanest Sounding Cam

I'm sure a quick search using the a combination of some of these words will help out: "sound", "cam", "mean", "idle", "wot", etc.

likes stated above, there r many factors that effect sound. u will read all about it. and yes performance should be first, but most people will agree that they want their car to sound a certain way, as well. goodluck. and keep listening to those clips, thats the best way i can think of to find wut u like.

To choose a cam for the way it sounds is...well... lame at best.

Right up there with putting a 5" exhaust tip on a econo car with a 1.5" exhaust system just because the tip looks cool.

Best sounding is subjective, like asking about the best mufflers. Performance should be choice #1 when it comes to cams anyway.

The LS6 HOT cam sounds pretty good, but it's an old grind and doesn't make good power. On the other hand there's the CheaTR cam that sounds stock and is making VERY impressive numbers. So judging by idle quality alone is not a sure way to pick a cam.

What are your goals for the car? Do you have any? Let us help you by providing us with more information.

if i was getting this cam 4 my race car than i would be more in 2 the performance side of it
but being this if 4 a show car (not a race car) that is just driven maybe on the weekends
i am more on the sound side


maybe it is lame but it is what i want

I'll throw out a suggestion;

Thunder Racing 230/224 111 +0. It'll sound mean at idle, and make good power too without having to have a F.A.S.T. 90mm intake/throttle body. It doesn't have that much overlap so can get by with just headers and a catback.

Other big points are, it doesn't have big peak lift numbers so expect valve springs to last a while if you're doing your part and not beating on them when it's cold etc.

This is a good street cam that will have a good idle and make good power. With a good tune, it'll drive very easy on the street.

This is my favorite LS1 cam for the street. Do a search for this cam. Everyone that has it is very well pleased.

this thread is stupid, about 8 threads down is almost the exact same title.

what is it with people wanting just the sound? if you want something that sounds good just go buy an LS1 hotcam and spring kit from GM and have someone else install it for you, because you obviously shouldnt be doing it yourself

g5x2 with magnaflow mufflers ...sounds good get alot of compalments but thinking about switching mufflers to flo pro twisters ....maybe

A 224 cam will sound raunchy idling at 650rpms. You can't even hear my F14 if it's idling at 1050, barely has any chop lol.

I gained alot of audible lope when I switched from an x-pipe to a y-pipe setup, so you know it's not all in the cam.

I also have to agree with the others about not picking by the "sound".
