Mine takes about 45seconds to find a decent idle, most of the time. Sometimes it take a little more, but not much.

I have a Ram Powergrip HD, and 3.42s and it drives fine. If you are trying to go 1st gear under 2k - as in just a few miles per hour, it does buck a little bit, but thats the only time I get that out of it.

When coming to a light, or slowing down, when I put hte car in neutral, I tend to get some surge, where it will run up to 2000rpm and hang there for a few seconds - sometimes longer, then slowly come back down. I'm not sure why that is, as i can never duplicated it in the next day of the same weather conditions...

Graph in sig lid/ 1 3/4 Lts, no cats, true duals with dr. gas x. Semi ported TB and stock pulley.

well i was buttoning everything back up. as i was boltong the headers on, i snapped a header bolt in the head. so i had to pull the head to drill the busted bolt out. as i was drilling the bolt the drill bit snapped in the broken bolt. so i tried to drill around the bit in the broken bolt and started to **** up the head. so i got super pissed . so i had to send the head back to TEA to see if they can fix the ******* abortion i created. just not my week with this ****** car. i was soooo close and now im so far

Drives fine.. doesn't buck nor surge even around the 1200 area. Great cam... 11.6 @ 117 in an m6 without ls6 intake or asp pulley.

Glad to hear this.. I'm still undecided between the TM 230/224 or the FM13/14 though I've been leaning more towards the FM side of things. The ability to be driven daily and retaining some sense of normalcy is important, I'm sure a good tune can iron out any small glitches.

Was on Et streets, it blew them off to a 1.68 60' tho.

7.4 was the 1/8th on that run.

Going to the track soon with ls6 intake and asp pulley, lower 60', and some more top end pull should be low 11's around 119+, cam only... 3500 raceweight

Went 12.1 @ 116 with nitto drs on a shitty 1.96 60. 1/8th was 7.8 that run. Was before ls6 intake and pulley.
