And I'm sure this guy knows not to race it or spray it before he gets it tuned. No reason to be rude about it or to tell him its gona explode if he drives it

Secondly i would like to point out that the car has been FIXED , there was an small piece of metal missing between the throttle body and manifold causing a nice size vacuum issue as well as a leak from the rear of the manifold, once both were fixed the car idles FLAWLESSLY and revs cleanly as it should ,.....UNTUNED ....now the car can be taken to a tuner to work with a properly running car not a car with issues....

guess the broken leg could be fixed after all.....
Nicely done I was thinking a vacuum problem also but seems you figured it out as I was scrolling down the thread before I could comment. I have seen monster cams idle decently without being tuned before as long as they don't install huge injectors and washing the cylinder walls with fuel. A tune doesn't fix everything yes it's an important aspect to consider when changing internals especially, but it always seems to get the blame on here. Each cam seems to respond differently to the stock tune, just get it to your tuner first chance you get. I try to get a mail order to get me in the ballpark until I can get to my tuner.

Stop ***** licking around this dude, if he doesn't want to get his car tuned, let him pay the consequences.
I want to read a thread by him at a later date about a damaged engine because of his arrogance.
