New cam!

Okay everyone, I have a T-Rex cam and to be honest I love the way it sounds and so does everyone else, but now its doing something weird which noone seems to understand what its doing, Let me try to explain it the best way possible, Ill crank it and let it warm up, then ill take it out to drive it, but as soon as I start off itll jerk really bad, and my temperature needle for some reason drops then comes back up, it will only do it on start, and it wont do it once I get it going and im not breaking my neck, any suggestions on that??

And any suggestions on a new cam?

I've heard people suggest cleaning the MAF connector as this sends a goofy
airspeed signal to the computer when dirty. Also the Trex by nature is a bit
finnicky from a drivability standpoint. Pat G usually suggests staying right
around the 230 @ .050 for a decent idle, good throttle response, and a broad
powerband thats streetable.

that would be a huge waste of money lol, when did it start this issue? has it always done this, just have to ask what gears you are running, im not sure about the temp gauge, but i feel you might be talking about bucking at low rpms ?
