--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just got my cam in today is a Tr 224 563 from thunder racing . I took the car out last night let it heat cycle the valve springs and then let is set over night. Today I went for a drive and wasnt impressed at all. I understand its not tuned . Ok so here are my Questions
1 how long does it take the computer to learn that the cam is in there.
2 is it normal for it to load up real bad after revving
3 There is quite a bit of smoke coming from the pipes when I get on it.
4 Where the hell is the horse power out
5 how much more power will I get from a tune!

depending on the color of the smoke you may be running rich. I would suggest a tune if you are seeing a substantial amount of smoke at WOT. Tuning can lean you out a little and you should gain hp. just my .02$

While your cam is not TOO big and you can get by untuned, I personally would never get on it after doing a camswap without having it tuned. Dont want to blow your engine up, and you can never be sure how far off your A/F ratio will be.
