Who cares? If it's not matched to your engine and intended use it could sound like a top fuel car and still run like ***.

My cam will have very little lope, but I would bet money it will run better than most of the donkey dicks people throw in a stock headed car.

Of course this is all hypothetical since I still only drive a bolt on car and haven't been in the game very long, but it looks like to me that over-camming is rampant in the ltx world...

Should be a bit choppier than this depending on idle speed.

My heads are p&p and also is my intake... so how is it over-camming my car? im not buying it just cause of the sound i know how that cam performs..all i wanted to know was if anyone has a video clip of how the cam sounds..so stop jumping to conclusions and read what i posted..I JUST ASKED FOR A VIDEO CLIP THATS IT...I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD..
