Can stock 8 cams sound like this?

Long story short :


-Previous owner never mentioned cams

-Got a great tune from Tom ( tscompusa) , highly recommended I dont have to say that for everyone to know.

-Tuned with a tear in EGR vaccum line on E85 with stock cams

-Found tear in EGR line, replaced and ziptied the lines.. Leak free completely.

- Now Idle has turned to this with out any problems or codes what so ever and awesome awesome power still.

Title needs a ? mark added in.

Vaccum before fixing leak was around 20-22

Vaccum after fixing EGR leak is now 12-14


Also, no misfirings or going lean happening here.
A/F is spot on everywhere

LOL.....!
I can assume only that when my car came from Japan it had stock cams. It was stock aside from cat-back when i bought it too....
So whats a stock cam supposed to sound like?
I was under the impression that the Evo isn't exactly a stock car to begin with if you catch my drift so I thought the cams were a little lumpy from the factory.

i don't think they will lope like that at 1000RPM though.. they don't come from the factory at 1000RPM. or 8* either at idle. i think its 5* from factory

so in these circumstances i dont think its going to lope like that with stock cams.
