Best Sounding Camshaft Stock or Super Stock

Some of the 305 SBC stockers have a bad azz sound.

The 5.7-6.1 Hemi has a really nasty sound,and it should considering the compression and cam it has.

Well we have discovered one thing for sure ,and that is everybody likes their own camshafts as their (our ) choice.
Now , for the best looking 4-door stocker , i personally like the 66 Chevy II.. (wonder why?) lol

Like this thread may get one and put it in my 289 to bracket race don't care how it runs long as it sounds nasty!!!!!!

Seems to me not only the cam but the headers make a distinct sound. The lighter the gauge the better, merge collector makes the pop a lil cleaner as well with the square lobe. On my oldsmobiles I like to hear the John Deere tractor roll (overlap) thats what I call it, then I know I have everything close LOL

They sure do! I may be somewhat biased, but just stand anywhere near the Mega Maniac when it is running, and you hear one real nasty cackle from a 5.7... And that is with stock rockers, lifters, and push rods.

Yea I'm partial but an AMC sounds wicked! I can't count how many times some trackside "expert" has come up and told me how much faster I'd go if I didn't take the RPM up so high. My D/S engine barely hit 6800 RPM and they would tell me I was leaving and shifting at around 8500 RPM. This SS/H engine was only good for about 7200 RPM.
But the next engine may be quite a bit higher...

Try these!
