You might be able to tell that it has a mild cam, but definitely not the fender shaking crackle/thump/lope that you might be hearing in your head.
Really sounds like you have a great combo working on this right now. I wonder if those cam companies are engineering their product just for an idle sound?

I would hope that engineering's first priority would be HP/Torque at WOT then mileage on light throttle similar to a VVT tuned engine would be. I know some are ground this way yet there is a ton to understand to get there.
