Edelbrock 2177 Cams???
i know this is kind of apples and oranges, but i ran an eddy performer cam in my 440 and it was a great cam for that package. sounded healthy and performed well.
there are many variables to how a cam sounds, compression being chief among them.
i know some people get worked up about how a cam sounds (ie thumpr cams) but i'd be much more concerned about how it performs. you can have one that sounds absolutely nasty at idle and sucks for performance.
