What is the biggest cam with a near stock rumble?

I had the crane 227 for awhile and it sounded pretty much stock. I went 115mph with a set of mildly ported heads in a full weight car. If I got it dyno tuned I dont think 116-117 would have been out of the question in better weather. A lot of people put down small cams without any info or actual experience with them, I guess they fell into the bigger is always better mentality. The 227 was a badass daily driver cam with instant torque off idle and no cam surge.
Only video I have of it in a 95 degree south florida day.

No worries everyone has different builds in mind. The 218/224 .544/.544 on a 111 LSA would not be a lumpy cam. Here is a sound clip, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKyDSsWP--I
Is the Crane 227 and the LE cams spec'ed the same? I thought a 111 LSA would always be choppy??? That clip sounds perfect!!! I thought a 112 is more lumby than a 114 and a 114 more lumpy than a 116.

They are pretty much identical in specs. a 111lsa will not be choppy. If you started going into the 109-107 it would pick up some lope. The nice thing is you can have either Loyd or AI grind it to whatever you want. Plus a custom grind cam will be the better route to go then a off the shelf cam like the 227.

Ding ding ding...we have a winner...Ran this cam in my 383 for years and it sounded very close to stock...Ran its *** off too and still got great gas mileage...Cam now resides in my friend's ZZ3 motor and its carrying on the same tradition of running great and sounding close to stock...

I would run a set of NSA 1.6 rockers for sure. Good for another 12 or so rwh. The Comp 1305-16 rockers would be a good choice. You may have to trim a little of the inside support of the valve covers down in order to fit...nothing major though. Hardened chromeoly pushrods and a nice set of valve springs to top it off.
