what does a -3* overlap cam sound like?

im switching from a cam that had 12* of overlap (233/239 .605/.598 112lsa) to a cam that has -3* of overlap (223/227 .637/.640 114lsa). i am wondering what the new cam will sound like compared to the old cam. anyone have any ideas?

It'll sound very similar to a 224/224 114lsa.
BTW, don't forget that your tune, idle speed, and your exhaust configuration will all play noticeably into how it sounds.

thats funny...
i tried to find a video of the cam but no luck. i found some videos of 224/228 cams but they have less than .600" lift and this cam has .640" so i didn't know if that would effect the sound much
