Assuming you already know what a cam does.. a bigger cam keeps the intake and exhaust valves open longer

The 'bigger' camshafts will have different sized lobes or [cams], which alter the duration of the time the intake and exhaust valves are open, keeping them opened longer, basically letting in more air.. Why exactly it sounds the way it does, I couldn't really explain
