Default New cam installed guys.....please step in!

First off, it is the ls1 hot cam, and I really don't want any flameing, but I'll get it anyway so who cares! (p.s. Got the cam, and springs new for $175.) OK I have a header tune from the guyes at Diablo, and will be getting a dyno tune in a week or 2. It will start and idle ok if I feather the gas on startup a bit. I rased the idle to 850. Will the cam cause a p0300? I get some mis-fires on all cylindars. I get alot more on 3, and 4. I tried new plugs and wires on 3, and 4 with the same results. I just need to drive it this week. Any input would be great! Thanks guys!

i had a full tune for headers and stall first, then i put in my tr224 and it never threw a light. it was a month before my tuner came in town to fine tune it and it drove fine the whole time except needing a higher idle.

I threw in my hotcam with all bolt ons and no tune and never set off any codes, all it would do would die out when I had my AC on!

The more the ecm learns the more drivability I get.....It is still setting a p0300 from time to time though.
