As the title suggests does this sound cammed, or is this just the sound of a poorly set up carburetor mixture? She doesnt normally smoke, I have been adjusting the mixture (waiting on my vacuum gauge to come in) so its out of whack, just trying to figure out if this thing has a performance cam and unsure if sound alone can give that away with a bad mixture.
Project "Red" (not really named yet): '84 F150 4x2, Holley 4bbl 351 w/302 cam shaft and side exit pipes. Still learning what else is there but in progress of putting her back together and on the road.
I would have liked to have heard more. But I think it has some more overlap than a stock cam. A miss sounds differently . .that was ( pretty sure) overlap.
Really difficult to tell with the open exhaust. And it could be an air/fuel mix problem. But I agree with Pete that it sounds like it has more overlap than stock.
I would have liked to heard her more too guys thats about all I could get her to do without stuttering out from the bad carb mix! My vacuum gauge is on the way so hopefully I can get her dialed in soon to get a good idle and see what she really sounds like.

Not sure if it's needed - but for comparison, this is how my truck sounds... which has a 351W with an aftermarket cam. New carb, new vacuum hoses, fresh plugs and leads:
Simple exhaust setup - 2 & 1/2" Hedman headers into dual 2 1/4" pipes into Jegs-brand mufflers that terminate just before the gas tank and point down to the ground - but still hidden from side-view (one on the gas tank side and the other on the non-tank side).
