buying a cam based on what it sounds like? i understand wanting to hear a muffler video, but a cam? they all sound cool as long as you get over 220 duration. you can tune them to sound different too. i could could make my old motor sound decently tame, or nasty evil just by playing with the idle rpm and timing.

My ht1 cam sounds choppy and aggressive, its a 214/218

this is probably as large as i will go with this motor. i had to cut the intake side .090 to get .070 clearance. the exhaust side clears at min recomended PTV...actually a hair under at .099 but i see tons of guys running tighter. my milled heads with a 2.05 intake valve along with the ls2 flat tops limit me a little on cam size. this motor is running pretty tight clearance wise. otherwise i'd love to throw in a t-rex.

Well.....turns out my mom wanted the old s10 I just got. She has been driving it and wants to buy it from me, so I went a found anther. Better body, only has a banged up fender, otherwise it's pretty straight. Drives just like the other one.

And here is the fender that needs replacing:

So, tons less body work than the other but it did cost more.
Thinking of dropping the 6 liter from the mustang into it, that way I can sit on the mustang till I get the cash for a LY6, L92 and a built 4L80.
