Uprated cams: Does it sound differant?

[Blue_2.2]

With uprated cams fitted, does the engine sound any differant?
Is the idle lumpy?

 

[vocky]

one word.......YES

slight lumpy tickover - sounds like the engine means business

the exhaust note is also deeper and you can tell it's had something done to the engine drool.gif

I like the 'effects' 8)

If you're looking to spend stupendous money like I did, then you won't notice any difference. I had Schrick Cams and Double Valve springs fitted to mine and you can't tell any difference in the running of the car until you hit around 4000rpm and then it all goes a bit mental upto 6500rpm!!
