Question about idle with a cam
Just wondering if this is normal. I have a mail order tune from RPM motors. I have the comp 228/230 on a 112 and when i first start it up it has to hunt for an idle for a few seconds but after that it is fine. I can drive around all day and it will never stall at stops. Only when i first start it. Is this normal with a cammed car?

Jesse usually knows what he's doing when he sends you a tune. Keep in mind - tuning a car that's not sitting in front of you only adds to the challenge. If it really bugs you, you could have someone take a look & fix it. But, I say why bother? Personally, I wouldn't drive the car until the motor had a little heat in it (>140*F coolant temps) to save the springs. Cold springs plus high lift cam plus more rpms can be hard on the springs. I don't like changing them anymore than I already have to.
