[Tigers] Stroker Engine sound

[Ronak, T.P. (Timothy)]

Owain,
The stroker will sound just fine with the right cam selection. Running a
Hydraulic roller may soften the idle lump a bit as they are designed to
create some vacuum at idle for the electronic fuel injection to work.
I my opinion the key things that will help the car 'sound' right are
10.5:1 compression
Decent cam with a bit of lift
Right exhaust with 2.5 inch pipes and 'turbo' style mufflers
Big enough airfilter

If you want I did a 349.6 stroker when I had my Tiger and it sounded
pretty decent the actual components are on the www.tigersunited.com  web
site under the performance tuning section Lunati Stroker Buildup

Kind of a lurker now that I sold off my stuff but the car was an
absolute blast to play with ... I miss it.
