Not really possible without big duration, you can have it have a slight chop, but for it to be nasty 10 second sounding you will need a big converter and a deep gear, does he have that? My 350 i had was a full roller motor with 236/242@.050, it hit pretty good on a 110 LSA, but it only sounded like 12s to me, which was possible with a gear. You cannot have the cake and eat it too without everything else to accommodate the cams "needs".

A cam that would sound like that would make a stock motor worthless on the street. There are plenty of cams that have a decent lope that would be much better for you.
On a stock 350 I wouldnt go anything higher than a 260 duration. A stock motor simply wont flow enough to keep up with a big cam. A good stall will help, but if the engine itsself cant handle it its no good.
I would recommend this cam for you:

I'm a big fan of the Comp xtreme energy line. Ive built a lot of 350's that used this cam. For a mostly stock motor its great. It has a noticable idle, nothing like a 10 second dragster, but definately doesnt sound stock and it's powerband is right in line with what a stock 350 is capable of.

Back in 1982 I put a Comp 268 camshaft into my new '82 Z28. The car sounded great and it ran very well with this camshaft. It ran 9.10 in the 1/8 mile with this cam and a set of Cyclone anti reversion headers and and Edelbrock Performer intake, which back in the day was a real respectable time. The car got 21 mpg before the cam and still got 21 mpg after the install. Bob

If you want to cam a stock tbi your gonna need a cam that works well with the stock efi and prob tune it somehow or something real close to stock n not really worth it.
I suggest a aftermarket self learning TB unit like fitech with a dual plane intake & hei dist and maybe a fuel pump upgrade.

I find most care more bout looks/sound. For example lots of people dislike how my C3 &C4 corvette have single exhaust tips
