Default Cam idle not consistent?

so after my cam install and after getting it tuned i notice that the idle sounds somewhat stock at some times and then it sounds like if it was cammed and it is never a consistent idle.

what could help with the idle? is it all in the tune? the cam is a england green mayhem II cam.

could very well be the tune...

Do the rpms stay the same? or are the rpms different when the idle sounds different?

Is the weather the same when it changes?

is it different even after fully warmed up or just cold starts?

that is weird as there is always some variable that will cause it to change the way it sounds....

afr and timing will cause it to sound different...

if weather is the same and rpms are the same then im not sure what the issue could be... not a vac leak or any of the TB sensors cuz the rpms are the same....

not sure what to tell you man...

just for fun clean your MAF and make sure your MAP is seated and not leaking.... also make sure your IAT sensor and ECT sensors have a good connection!
