my 228/232 cam
Thats why I would buy a tuner program and tune it yourself. There are enough knowledgeable helpful people on these boards for you to have that tuned nice. By the sound of it, your wot is good, its the af or idle that needs work. Keep the cam though, well unless you want to give it to me

i am getting rid of it b/c of the tune problems that i have been having with it.
Warm start issue, idle dips when coming to a stop, bucking and hesitation. but above 2500 RPMs look out
so i am going back to my stock cam

I agree dont get rid of it and go back to stock. Sounds like your tuner isnt all that great. Have patients with it and find another tuner before desideing to get rid of it. if you do ditch it maybe try a 228R from tsp on a 114 lsa. Thats what i had in my 98 SS and it was great for my DD and made damn good power with full bolt ons. If i deside to go with the 228/232 cam for my 2002 SS i will probly go with a 114 lsa. Just dont give up on it yet man, I realize it is realy irritating but theres got to be a tuner around that can fix your problems.

If you can't get your tuner to fix it, pick a Saturday and we can work on idle/driveability. Shouldn't take more than a couple of hours. I wouldn't officially charge you anything above the $100, but I'll be accepting tips if you like the work and are feeling generous.
Cant beat that deal!!!
Plus SSpdDmon has helped me out with a bunch of tuning problems on here so I would say he knows what he is talking about.

Let me know how yours goes on a 112..

Thats too bad that it didnt work out for you man. Good luck on what you get next. Look into something like a 228 on a 112 or 114, that will behave betetr and be easier to work with.
I would just get a new tuner though and have your existing cam tuned in OLSD on a dyno so you can get each VE cell dead on. And then afterward you could put it back in closed loop so youe fuel trimming works again.
Is the car even coming out of open loop in the low rpms's? Mine has problems staying in closed loop during idle and I am sure it is due to the overlap of the cam pulling fresh air through the cylinders. But even still mine seems to run OK.

Don't quit already bud---you've got tuner issues, not cam issues. It literally took me over a month tuning the car myself to dial the idle in with the help of some guys online. Find yourself an established tuner that knows what he's doing, or pick up some tuning software and tackle it yourself with some help from folks here.

The 110 is a great cam if your car was track only.

My 228/232 110+2 runs absolutely great now. It took awhile to get the tune right but its fine for everyday driving. I drive mine at 1000 all the time and have it idle at the stock 800. Still on stock 3.46 gearing also.
