Here's a Camaro with a 355 and a Comp 270H. The audio is pretty good, so this should give you a good idea.

73hornut, what’s your initial and total advance numbers? And idle speed and vacuum at idle? If you don’t mind.

My total was set to 35 btdc, idle was about 750 in park, but only had it set by ear.

Don`t make the mistake of going by what it sounds like rather than what is best for your combination..   https://youtu.be/raIAc9EZg0E

Before you pick one look into Engle Camshafts , tight lope center for nice lope, Great street cam. Just my two cents, and I had many.

I have heard that as well about the Engle AMC cams.  I almost went with their 5058H Cam before deciding to go with the Lunati 10100702
