It has a pretty good rumpity- rump idle as you can hear in the video in my signature block - but it still drives nice and easy.

Along with Blykins info that might give you some idea of what you need in cam spec depending on where you want max power at.
Beautiful car sounds identical to ours with near same cam specs in a 460. We also have under car exhaust almost a sleeper look.
