JRP is right as usual,but there are SO many other factors why do you single out the cam signal? I might be mistaken but I think the car will still run with a fault there but the injectors fire in a random pattern and the motor will run rough. I just helped a bud install a FMS 408 strocker in his car and it would not fire at all, turns out the heads will milled so far for the 12:1 compression the stock lenght pushrods were not letting the valvetrain opperate correctly,shorter pushrods....and it ran great even on the stock tune. Does it sound like it has compression when you spin it over?

Ok by my mistake i didnt have the crank sensor plugged in. It cranked up my now is running rough. The pushrods i ran in my old setup were comp cam 7350 comp cam had them on back order so the subbed magnuAm pushrods.

Im running the tsp magic stick forged mahle piston and forged rods stock crank also upgraded to the ls6 intake and 28 lbs injectors. Previous dynotune was with a ls1 intake and 26 lbs injectors
