Default 95 LT1 Idles like ****! New Cam

Well so I finally got the ol' Z back together with her new cam (listed in Sig) and it idles like doo doo if and when it does idle, keeps boiling the coolent out the overflow tank vent cap, has sluggish throttle response when not in gear, nd pretty much non when in gear, I have no idea what it could be, was told it could be an intake gasket gone bad or not sealed right and havin a lil blow-by from the heads, but I checked to see if water was in the oil and it looks like oil to me, any ideas fellers?

He has a '95 it will only go on one way. Crossed plug wires? Has the car been tuned yet? You should not be having any kind of problem with excessive pressure in the cooling system.

That's more than likely 95% of your problem. The other 5% is your cooling system lol
