A couple of Australian Cams.

273/273 104LSA / 104 ICL <- In Craig's old 346 with an Auto.
258/262 .644/.661 107.5 LSA <- Supercharged motor

But in all actuality, the meanest sounding cams are the ones that are optimized for amotor. They don't just lope, they actually "crack". Best way I can describe it for you is to tell you to go listen to a Pro-Stock motor run. Its not rumble, rumble, rumble its crack, crack, crack.

Great thread!

Cam's do change how a car sounds, so do mufflers. People want there car to look and sound and perform a certain way. So for all of you that have ragged on this thread, take of your exhaust, don't clean your car, because obviously sound or looks don't matter to you.

Nothing better than a sweet sounding cam'd car!

I just cranked up my MS4 for the first time and LOVE it. Sounds great. Will be getting a dyno tune in the coming weeks. I have a base tune in it for now. I can tell its running a little rich though. Anyway, MS4 is sweet

No, its not right. Looks to me like you are using the .050 lift duration figures. Overlap is calculated from the instant both valves are open, so the advertised numbers are more accurate (though they are also measured at a specific lift so they wont be exact)

When I did the calculation for my TREX (specs off cam card), I came up with 26.1 degrees of overlap.

I guess exhaust has a lot to do with it. Most of those cars sound like popcorn makers

I think my F15 sounded pretty damn mean! F15
