Default Lopey Cam???

How lopey would you say that this cam will sound?

Advertised Duration = 285* intake / 291* exhaust
Duration @ .050" lift = 221* in. / 232* ex.
Valve Lift = .526" in. / .523" ex. with 1.6 roller rockers.

I am using Crane 1.7's so the valve lift should be .557" in. / .554" ex.
The lobe separation is 111.

Oh, this is in a new lil alum. head 306, BBK shortys, BBK o/r hpipe, and Mac catback w/ flowpath mufflers.

I'm hoping that it sounds mean and aggressive.

With the 1.7's i'll have more lift than a Z cam which i've read is "aggressive." I guess lopey and aggressive don't necessarily mean the same thing huh?

more so lift and duration are not the same...lift is how far the valve open and duration is how long it stays open, and the lope is generated from the valve overlap during the valve timing events and when they occur

The E cam has a nice decent lope, and the F cam is Lopier than the E and has more lift, But the F is best when used with a power adder like a supercharger or some GO GO Juice!
