need a tune probably to raise the idle...otherwise youll shake the mounts to an early death.

yah...really you just need to raise the idle a bit so it smooths it out...that will stop most of the shake. Ive got mine set at 900-950 and have little engine movement

I've got the x1 cam 230/227 112 lsa, and it shook one of my main water lines off. Small price to pay...
