Loping sound

Today i just put my cam in and i have to put everything back on in a few days. i was wondering if my cam will have a loping sound to it since it has a 112 LSA?

What engine did you put that in? If its a 350 maybe a very very slight lope because of the 112SA, which has little overlap. Valve overlap is what causes the lope, as exhaust is drawn into the intake manifold. A cam with 106 LSA no matter the duration will have lots of lope.
