Default Car dying after cam swap.

After my cam swap everything seems to be great except. I drove it for awhile ran good but after I got to my buddies house I let it run for a minute to run al the fluids through real well. And it just died out of the blue, wethought oh its because I have no tune on my car what soever But when we went to start it clicl click the battery was dead we jumped it started up ran good till we took the cables off and it started dying and lights dimming etc. Id say its something in the alternator somewhere what do you guys think??

I agree, it sounds like alternator issues.

I would also check for loose wires considering you just did a cam swap...

defiently sounds like a missed/loose wire somewhere and its not charging like it should. id check the battery connections first and then re-check anything you may have moved during the swap
