Default what exactly is lope? any sound clips?

I am considering the TR 224 112LSA but I keep reading about "lope" and some refer to it as a shaking...I guess I have heard old muscle cars making a "chugging" sound..that would also be known as lope?? I guess I don't want my car to be jolting me around or anything or dying at stoplights.. I wouldn't mind that sound but the dying would not be cool nor would being shaken out of my seat..is it THIS dramatic going with this cam? also I will have QTP LT headers,no cats, electric cutout package along with some other bolt ons by summer so overall will this be a good choice for me??? I have been reading EVERY post on cams lately to try to figure out what I want and I think i have it narrowed down to this one but still not too sure..thanks for help

Do a search on TR224, someone posted sound clips for both the 112 and 114 LSA versions. How dramatic is the lope? That's a pretty subjective thing that varys from one person to the next. I would say it's pretty rough, but it does sound good if you want a mean lope. I would hate to pull into an emissions inspection sounding like that and try to tell them it hadn't been modified. <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

The 112 wav file is on my site at the bottom.

I love the cam; idle is at 850 and it doesn't shake me out of my seat. You can definitely hear it through the exhaust.

If you go with 112LSA, you are going to find out first hand about lope.

I have a 240/240 cam on a 112 LSA and you can see for yourself.

I have the TR 224 on a 112 in my car (signiture) and even at 650 rpm (almost won't run) its not enough lope for me (does not even really shake the car....).

To me....when I think of LOPE, I think of 3000 hp dragsters that won't idle at 1,500 RPM.....awwww....its so beautiful.....almost makes you cry <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
