Surging prob. in m-6 I recently put in a c1 cam and it seems to surge in any gear under 1500 rpm while not accelerating. Is this normal without tuning, and stock heads?

Re: Surging prob. in m-6 thanks, and no I haven't drilled the blade. I dont have a problem with the idle at all, just when crusing below 1500 rpm is all(1500 or above and its fine).

Re: Surging prob. in m-6 Yes, I guess "jerk, or chuging" is the more correct term for what its doing, like steping on ant off the gass real hard and quick.

Re: Surging prob. in m-6 Yup - that can be pretty normal. Sometimes it can best be described as bucking - car surges forward then stops then surges forward then stops and does it pretty rapidly.
You can do some minor mods to help with it, but is best to keep revs out of that zone.

Also, you can port the TB, and raise the idle a little with LS1Edit or similar. Otherwise, it comes with the territory of a big cam.
Now, go wind out that cam and see why you got it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Surging prob. in m-6 Thanks guys, I thought that was common but just needed some reasureance. Any sudj. on how big to go with the hole? I did port the TB btw. I will wind the **** out of it once I get the time to reset the rev limiter. Am I correct in saying that it should be shifted at 6500?
