well i had my cam put in about 5 weeks ago,and on start up it will go up and down a few rpms,once in reverse its starts to surge a little(back and forth)and it does it in drive when im not on the gas.Everything is fine once im driving,but continues once i come to a stop.Now this is the weird part.. as soon as i get on it hard,it goes away and drives and idles fine...wtf.I had a ported TB put on the same time as the cam,could it be the TB that is causing the problem or is this definitly a tuning issue...all help is greatly appreciated.

The surging should be pretty easy to fix. Your cam is not very big from an overlap standpoint. Good luck.

Years ago I had that same problem. Everyone kept telling me it was the tuning (which I really did have a bad tune), but as soon as I went back to a stock tb from a ported tb, it cured 80% of the surging and drivability problems. Then, I got a good tune and that got the drivability back to about 99%.
