    Cam question

    I was looking into purchasing a cam for my car and i had my heart set on the comp cams cc306. However, once i heard the cam i was a little turned off by it because of how lopey it is. Click link too hear.

    The cam sounds extremely mean but i really wanna keep my car for driving almost everyday in the summer and i want to be able to take my girlfriend out on dates in my car. Now i have very very basic knowledge of cams and cam timing, but what i was really wondering was, is there any way to keep the cam from being so lopey. I heard someone talk about reducing the LSA, is that true? I want the cc306 because of the power it produces but are there any other cams out there that will produce good power from about 2500 rpm to about 6000rpm without the lope.

    Looks like we're in the same boat looking for a cam. I want that cam, but I don't like the sound either. It sounds awesome when he's giving it gas, but at idle it's just too clanky. I don't like it too much either. I was going to go with the 305. I don't think there is really any way around it. A cam making that much power is going to sound like that. I think that's just the way it is.

        That cam sounds fine if you have a muffler on it. That sounded like long tubes with no cats and a loudmouth, or strait pipe.

        I think it was the exhaust causing it to be so obnoxious.

          Thanks tracy, that explains a lot. It'll probably sound a lot more toned down with my magnaflow. It isn't half as loud as a LM.

                Yeah i noticed that the guy had his cut out off and i was thinking that it was making the cam sound really lopey. So the question is, if he was running full exhaust with cat, it wouldnt sound so harsh?
