Default odds of cam running w/ stock tune

i now have my car put back together and it wont run. HPE tells me it probably wont run with a cam of my size. it all stock with the mods in my sig plus a 226/234 .540/.575 110 LSA. iv been told it should run and told that it probably wont. this is an advanced induction cam. anyone else have experience with this?

It'll run. Just don't put your foot in it until you get it tuned.

I think it should run fine. Check your wires.

My 230/236 w/ .555 lift on 112lsa fired up on a stock tune and drove ok. I'd follow the advice of above and keep your foot out of it.

As for it not starting it sounds like maybe the rockers arent adjusted right, what method did you use? Or a plug wire.

Highly doubt its' the cam. Are you sure your plug wires are in the correct order? I'd say it's either that or your timing chain is off.
