Default Super smooth tight fireing engine

i was at the track the other day and there was one car in particular had a super tight sounding engine. it was a v8 5 something liter. but i noticed Bisimotos all motor dragster has that same tightness. how do i achieve this?

in other words. i couldn't hear any clunky sounds at all. and it just fired almost perfect sounding. there wasn't any odd timed pop sounds. it was like a machine gun firing with perfect spaces in between each explosion.

kind of like in this video. its hard to hear it.

does it have to do with cams and springs. or is it an ignition thing.

yea l would like the same with my motor. l would have to say just the perfect combination build. everything was just built to a blueprint perfect to spec. correct crank,rods,pistons,bearings,cams,valvetrain. but lm sure its probally all Bisimoto parts and probally all stage 3. basically lots of money for parts/labor. also u have to consider thats a race car, not sure what u have but if its a dd/race car find a beater car and go for a good tear down and build up

There are several factors that will cause a particular engine to sound different than others. A 90* V8 will sound smoother than any I4 or 90* V6. Third order harmonics come into play. A 90* V8 will fire every 90*, 90*V6 will also do the same unless its a split pin crank it will appear to have a miss every 270*. And the I4 will fire every 180*, at idle it will sound slow compared to a V8.
Albeit what you are hearing with the Bismoto, hard to tell with the damn music, is the faster idle speed which makes the engine sound smoother than stock I4s. There is also the factor of how the intake and exhaust systems are modified.
A big change in sound with V8s is when headers are added, outside of the slight tinney sound the more equal flow from a header, vs a log type manifold, will help balance out the exhaust pulses. Rather than a muffled burble you will hear a cackle. A properly constructed exhaust with a correctly placed crossover will also help balance out the exhaust pulses.
