Disconnecting a vaccum line for a big cam sound??

The guy who posted this vid says his cams are stock and he is getting that idle sound by disconnecting a vacuum line somewhere. It sounds ridiculously good, but it HAS to have some kind of aftermarket cam.

Yeah it's true. It just makes the car run really lean so it sounds like it's about to die

Sounds fast, runs slow. Anyone else think this is a tad on the ricer side?

I've had a vacuum leak twice............. just so happens I found both of them and never once thought of being a ricer with some sort of lumpy cam!

My experience with an unexpected disconnected vacuum line is Once it warms/heats up and after feathering the throttle for 3-4 mins and trying to rev it up, it might sound like a big cam, but it doesn't seem to run any slower once it's up to running temp.

Stupid idea .. yes

Make you a ricer .. NO
