Default new cam going in

i previously had a TR 230/236 590/598 112 LSA in my car and currently have a 242/242 610/610 110 LSA cam going in. the 230/236 sounded real agressive which i liked so i was wondering how this new one will sound?

I'm no expert but shouldn't anything with a 110lsa sound ridiculously beefy?

well the 242/242 cam didn't clear and they would have to fly cut more than they cared to so what they are doing now is ordering a t rex and are going to fly cut to fit that. dumb question but the t rex will still sound bad *** through dumps right?
