What cam sounds the meanest Well i have a m6 ported and polished heads, slp longtubes, along with the cutout. I want a cam that will rock the house and thump all day long. I asked about the ASA cam and everbody said i was nuts. So i would like to know your opinions. Also i dont run cats and i dont care about emissions. I want a cam that will lump all the way home.

Re: What cam sounds the meanest I think a
224/228 .566/.566 112lsa cam will lope pretty good
Or
224/224 .563/.563 112lsa cam <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
Anything with a 112 lsa will lope pretty hard... <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Re: What cam sounds the meanest Check the sig brudduh! Has a nice lope, even through the quiet SLP dual/dual and with a 114 LSA. With the cutout open it's mean as hell. Can't imagine what a 112 LSA would sound like

Re: What cam sounds the meanest If you want a cam that will lump all the way home, you probably wont be making any power. Too many people choose a cam thats too big for their motor. From what I'v seen on here, I wouldn't go with more than 224 duration and .565 lift on a stock cube ls1. Split pattern cams will cause more misfire/idle problems than single pattern cams. Split pattern cams also don't make more power on the ls1, because the exhaust flows extremely well on the stock heads. The T1 cam, which has a 112 LSA sounds badass. Do a search on here, as there have been many cam discussions recently.
Re: What cam sounds the meanest I love taking money from guys that have LOUD cars that are "all bark and no bite".
You would be surprised at how many suckers heard this car with its nearly stock idle and offered me carlengths for cash.
Do you want your car to "sound" mean, or "run" mean?
How "mean" a car sounds will have more to do with the exhaust setup you choose than the cam specs. ANY cam with 221+ duration and 114 or less LSA will lope great, especially with open headers or a cutout.

Re: What cam sounds the meanest Nineball, I wouldnt say my thunder 224 on a 114 "lopes great". To a non-ls1 person they'd probably never know I even had a cam.
Now my 230/230 on a 112 loped like a mad ****. For a show car that doesnt get driven, it woulda been great <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> Carlitos, if you thought your car had lope, you GOTTA hear a large cam on a 112lsa...its a whole different world.

My N/A cam of choice for a ~non-daily driver would be a 232/232 591/595 110lsa.
The cam I have in my car now hits pretty good too. Similar to your specs, but a bit bigger on duration.

Re: What cam sounds the meanest Jon, I'll post the audio link for you also:
T1 (221/221 on a 112) thru cutout
That does NOT sound stock to me. Like I said, how "mean" a car sounds has alot to do with the exhaust setup.

Re: What cam sounds the meanest 221/112 does not thump anywhere near a MMS 229/112. MMS 229/112 or equivalent cams out hard boooeeeyy! <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Re: What cam sounds the meanest What cam sounds the meanest? So sound is your main requirement in a cam? NOT performance.
You can adjust how hard a moderate caam will lope by just adjusting the throttle body.
Get a medium sized cam and when you want to THUMP just adjust the TB a bit.

Re: What cam sounds the meanest Well no sound isnt all to me, and your right a bigger bark than bit isnt all that either. What i want is good power seeing i have 4.10s in the rear but i want a nice lump to the car. It is only a toy for me so not an every day driver.
Re: What cam sounds the meanest too many of you guys think that everyone here has the same goals to run 10's! well, that is not the goal for everyone tony! <img src="gr_tounge.gif" border="0"> i personally chose the hotcam for its sound. what percentage of time do you run 120+ on the road? i love to cruisin sound of my car. with the lumpy idle, everyone knows you get more attention! i know i am 10 RWHP short of the T1 or TR cams, but it is worth it to me. i can find the 10 RWHP someother place. also, the hotcam is a pretty good NOS cam! <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

I don't think this is a split vs. single pattern trait. If you mean a 221/227 will set misfire codes more than a 221/221, that's because of the extra total duration and the associated extra overlap. Not because it's a split pattern. A 220/220 will set misfire codes just as often as a 218/222 because they have the same total duration and overlap area (assuming similar ramp rates, LSA, etc.).
