Yes it's the white one lower with custom wheels and drag spoiler. He loves that car. Tyler bowls with us, His vette is real nice. Kevin, my son, also does fender jobs. So if you need anything just let us know.

That's pretty normal for a cam install. The larger cam usually manifests as a misfire code. You need to get it tuned.

Kevin's G8 did the same thing after the head/cam install. We had to keep it revved up to get it on the trailer to take it to the tuner.

Are you tuning it or getting a dyno tune?

I've heard great things about Pat G e-tunes. I used Pat to spec a custom cam on my LS3 head 06 GTO.
