New to Cam Only , need help...
Ok, TR224/224 .561/.561 @114lsa, installed last week, by me and friends. Issues:
Cold starts, yeah it wants to surge/hunt/buck and stall
Warm/Hot starts normally catches the idle, idles @ 650-700
In gear it tends to do the surge a few times then settles in the idle at 650-700, takes a little more warming up though.
I notice in Park the timing is around 14*, but in gear the timing at idle is around 20*--might it help to raise timing in Park/neutral? Drill the TB Blade? Raise the idle?
Cam feels strong, after several heat cycles and a few hundred miles that is. I pulled on my friend who always easily walked away from me before but it seemed like there should have been more, maybe its the 12.5:1afr (and righer as the rpms go up huh???). True test results will be posted Sat. morning.

i'd just start simple and try raising the idle. Mine wouldnt idle for squat at stock idle! I have mine at 950 just cause for some reason my stall gave me a funky idle before the cam(smaller converter). Most have theirs at 850-900. Its not a big difference in sound either from 800 to 950 though
more than likely you will have to drill the TB a few sizes up also
My base spark in park was 18stock, but now I have mine at 22. You could also try turn the TB set screw a turn(cause you can always turn that back to stock)
just try a few things before drilling the TB, but also the car may never be perfect idling again. Mine surges on a warm start about 1 outta 10startups.

Re: New to Cam Only , need help...
Thanks. Heard the idle raise, I like the 650-700 but if thats what she wants thats what Poppi will give her! Am trign to get the predator tuner to raise timing in Park, no word back yet.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
