Rotten egg smell from exhaust? I just recently finished a cam install TSP233/239 and I also had them tune my PCM for it. However when I had them tune it I asked them to delete my rear o2s for a LT and full exhaust. Which I haven't installed yet! Is this why I have a rotten egg smell out the exhaust? Is it burnin up my C. converters?
Why the smell? Is it normal after cam swap?

Yep, your cats are probably toast. Probably running a little rich or getting some misfires with the cam which causes unburnt or partially burnt fuel to get to the cats. It will take them out quickly. Time to get the LT's and such installed.

01SSRMS; So my cats are toast, that's what I thought, Better get to swapping that stuff out then.

sometimes I'll put a lower octain if I'm low on money and it will smell like rotten eggs but this doesn't sound like your case.. I'd try the cats like 01ssrms said.
