sound from cam...

hi,
how can i tell how my engine will sound when i replace the cam? its a 351w with compression somewhere around 10.5:1 or less. victor jr. intake, 750 cfm demon carb, and aftermarket iron heads. for exhaust i will be running long tube headers, h-pipe and through a set of glasspacks. the cam i am looking at is this:

comp cams xtreme energy
lobe separation: 110*
duration @ .050" : 240/246
lift: .541/.544

is there a better choice cam for this set up?

sorry for the dumb questions, but im interested in how everything will be once it is running.
thanks,
carl

No way to really tell unless you find someone with your setup and that cam. If I'm not mistaken the higher the duration the more "lope" an enginge will have.
