i have the comp 212/218 and could barley drive it on the stock tune it would stall every time i cam to a stop it might of got better with time? but after i installed it i only drove it about 5 miles to get it tuned so i dont know i love the cam tho its pretty nasty for all the **** ppl talk about small cams saying u wont notice a differnce and this and that bla bla bla. i got 4 tenths out of it on the 1/4 so whats that ruffley 40 hp

Thanks for your input. I wonder how people can get their cars to a shop to get them tuned after a new cam if it's hard to drive like that.

EASY! lol
all you gotta do is give it more gas, either slip the clutch or while giving it gas step on the brake a lil.
