Shark Racer

I'm trying to get an idea of what the different cams sound like... will running a shorter duration affect the chopiness of the cam sound at all or only the LSA?
A nice clear sound file of the car idling would be awesome, idling and revving even better. Also, what speeds are your idles at?
TIA

TTT, can anyone help? Doesn't even have to be your car. :)

Most people don't pick a cam based on the sound...... Even so, with exhaust systems differences a 262 in a car with headers and dual exhaust will sound different than a car with stock 2-1-2 system.

With my 268h cam and stock 2-1-2 exhaust idling at 650rpm it sounded dead stock. But up at higher rpm you could feel it. When I went to true duals at 650rpm it didn't sound stock anymore, but close. If I drop the rpm to about 550 or 600 at idle it sounds really choppy and mean and shakes the car a bit but thats too low for me.

I have the xe256 with dual ex. Sounds mild but has a nice purr to it when you put the boot into it. Should sound better when I get headers in a couple of weeks.

This is the XE-262 with 3'' Dyno-Max Race Magnum Bullet mufflers. It's got other mods. 1.6:1 true roller rockers. That's the cam and mufflers I've got.

Thanks for the sound file Aaron! Now I know what my car is going to sound like when I get it running. It sounds like it will scare the CR@P out of the ricers and rustangs! :D
Awesome!

Aaron-74

OH Yeah! But, the mufflers he's got (and me) are just strait threw. Not much muffling. He's got a real high compression @ 10.5:1 or so, 2.05/1.65 valves and 1.6 roller rockers. 3'' dual exhaust. So, you'll lope like that, just probably not as loud. Nonetheless..RICERS will cry. :cool:

Shark Racer

Sounds awesome.
Sounds like I'll have a stealthy idle with my setup, and a nice scary noise when you get on it.
Terry, can you take me for a ride sometime soon? I'd really like to get an idea what I'm in for...

Sounds awesome! Looks like I'll have to go for that new cam after all (even though I do have a big, lopey 292 duration that's ALL top end power)
And new mufflers...heh heh heh....and my wife things it's loud NOW with the Flowmasters!

You could also go in between- XE268.

:cool:

terryrudy

Yeah, I can take ya for a ride in mine. I'd prefer to get the heads on first, though, so you get the full package but even now its not bad.

I got the XE268 due to my power accesories and am very happy with the
setup. Sounds almost stock and has a good wide torque curve. :cheers:

My XE262 sounds close to the sound file. I have the 1.52 roller rockers so mine's not quite as rough, but close. Oh- did I say how much I love driving my Vette. Ha-Ha.
