Should the car run a little funny for a bit? Idle is pretty smooth but it's a bit hesitant. Just wondering if the PCM is relearning everything now. And how long that takes.

Pacesetter LTs
ORY
SLP Loudmouth II
Plugs, Wires, Air Filter, and Oil.

So the car got a decent overhaul. Just wondering if these things are kind of normal.

Yeah it is some relearning, but it doesn't take much time for it to do so. Hard to say if it went fat or lean though. Some ppl have different experiences with it. It is fine though. Only thing I could think that would make it semi-hesitant would be if you didn't *click* a plug wire on all the way.

If you think that it sounds of kilter now....wait till you have a cam installed. You will lose your mind at first if you install it yourself.

My buddy drove it around for about an hour after I left. See if the PCM needed to make some corrections. He said the car drove great, felt much quicker then before. So when I drive it, i'll confirm that. But I feel pretty confident he knows what he's talking about.
