i reckon the 2nd one, 1 and 2 sound good, but 2nd sounds meaner.

3rd sounds like a steam train to me?!

why?... if your tuning a car you don't do it based on idle sound... i think they'd all sound good sat in a yank tank with a decent muffler

suerly they speeded the idle up on 3? as if it was a big lumpy pair of cams, it would idle really slow like duh....duh...d.duh..? lol 2nd one prob sounds best as its a bit lumpy and the idle is slowish

Suerly they can get it to idle a bit slower, Ive heard V8's sound way lumpier and way slower at idle, maybe they got the same ignition timing throughout all the cam tests lol
