Default How do I get the low slow dragster idle sound from a V8 Camaro?

Ok So I'm about to get a Camaro. I don't know the exact year, just hopefully a 80's model or the 98-02 model. V8. (standard of course)
I want this particular sound but I can't find out how to get it and it's DRIVING ME INSANE!!

The Low deep sounding like a Dragster. It sounds like the idle is low and you can hear the individual pops.
Here's some clips that kinda give you the sound I'm looking for.

And my favorite sound that I want is from this trans am: Start up happens at 1:48 seconds in.

Sorry man but the only way to get a choppy idle like that is to get a bigger cam and that is expensive...if your camaro doesnt already got already have a custom exhaust that would be a good thing to do...mine has a flowmaster sounds real good really deep but not very loud

The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft either by chain and sprocket (most V-8s) or by gear and has lobes (lumps) that push on rods (in simple terms) that open an close the valves at the right time to let air and gas mixture in and spent exhaust out.
This simple illustration link http://www.animatedengines.com/otto.shtml shows a basic 4 stroke engine and the end view of the camshaft is on the right driven by a gear off the crank.
Below is a Chevy V-8 camshaft.




This cutaway shows the cam in the center of a V8 engine driven by a chain off the crank at the front of the engine.
