I'd concentrate on best performing cam. Why care about sound?

Pretty tough to beat the ease and simplicity of the GT2-3
**** on the sound
Turbos are all about subtlety

Some of the the low lift/ moderate duration/tight LSA stuff sounds mean and maintains negative overlap at .050 so it's relatively turbo friendly.

If you aren't going "all out" The GM hot cam or Edelbrock 2215 sound nice IMO and will give you a healthy bump in power over a factory cam. Def. giving up a little power with the low lift though...

This is an idle clip of the 2215. It had really crisp throttle response on my 4.8 and sounded mean. I liked it. Trying the Howards version of the GM hot cam on my new build.

Funny you say that because I have a Edelbrock 2218 cam new on my tool box that is the exact same specs as the Lingenfelter gt2-3. I am planning on going turbo in the near future. May just toss it in.
