Well.. the short story is you ain't gonna get it. Those heads are WAY too small for the motor which effectively limits the powerband to something like 0-4000rpm, and to get a really lumpy idle you need a cam designed to produce power from 3000rpm and up. So you got a choice to make, do you want a motor that souds all bad assed but is a real pooch, or one that sounds rather tame but will bark the tires any time you want them to? If you just want the sound go ahead and get that 300deg duration race cam, but if you want the performance select something like the comp 35-234-3 or 35-238-3.
