Do you want to run a stall converter?

Because you can pick a cam that will lope and do all that crap but it will be a complete turd off the line, have zero get up and go without a 4,000rpm stall converter.

 

Or you can pick something that is more mild like a 212/218 with a 110-112 LSA to give it a little noise. That cam will also drive good and make power.

 

You would want long tube headers and a better exhaust if you want to hear the engine lope. Stock cats and huge muffler will make it be like nothing is there.

 

Do your research, there are tons of camshafts to pick from and from various people.
