A cam with a real choppy sound will have a lot of overlap and a higher powerband, which will require a higher stalled converter to not be soggy down low. You need to decide which is more important to you, performance and driveability or sound, you can't have it both ways.

^^ 220's sound good, even meaner with LT's. My truck has a 220 in a 4.8 so should lope like crazy, It may be on a 114 for how high my power band is and thru stock manifolds it sounds pretty decent.

I was thinking of swapping my Vinci Trucker cam ground on a 110 for a TR220 but I'm not sure if the power gain with be worth it or noticeable....
