Default Sound Clip of X/Z Cam?

Anyone have a sound clip of an X or Z cam? Also, I've heard they can be used with stock pistons, is this true?

they are kind of choppy, use with stock pistons depends on what heads you are running, but since the X has .542" of lift it will more than likely be real close with a stock head. The F is also a nice cam, and only has .512" of lift. Works well with a stock head and bottom end (had it in my GT a long time ago)

no no no
sorry if thats the way it sounded
i just meant that people get under certain impression
and maybe whoever told me that the Z cam was only for racing was under that impression
when someone else might use it in a DD
i wasn't talking about you, you obviously have to know what your doing/talking about
to build a car like yours and im not trying to disrespect anyone
just here to learn and throw out some advice when i can help someone
or i think i can help someone lol

oh its alright thats just the way it came out. but i know with my car specifically my cam has more lift than the z cam and had to have huge valve reliefs for it to even work. also my car is no drag car and is actually my DD again so if ur wanting to use to a big cam like that make sure u have proper clearences and upgrade ur valve springs
