RE: Cam questions
well if you want it louder you want bigger lift on the intake/exhaust and if you want it to sound mean you want bigger duration on the intake/exhaust the GM Hot cam would be the way to go cause if you go to big you goin to have change valve springs and you might also want to atlease change the push rods there

RE: Cam questions
Lift has very little effect on sound, duration and the cams LSA contribute more to sound than anything. The higher the LSA # the smoother the cam will be at idle. And I would suggest that you change valve springs ANYTIME you change the cam. Stock springs are only good enough to support a stock cam.
