Default Well i did it, The Cam Is In

after reading and reading i decided to go with a 232/234 110+3 .595/.598, i went with 7.425 pushrods, melling oil pump, ls2 chain, and prc dual springs.
my car is a 98 and the rod bolts arnt as good as 01+ so i tried to keep the power below 6600 rpms, the IVC of 43 should do well for that. the cam has 13* overlap for thoes who are wondering

Sounds real good!

I know you said car is not tuned yet, but I was just curious if you were having any of the typical surging, high idle issues alot of people seem to have after cam swap, but before tune?

Sounds smooth for being untuned...

As for the high idle I was referring to when car is being driven. A lot of untuned cammed cars seems to have a problem with the idle sticking high and only returning to normal idle rpm when car is actually stopped. You'd definitely know if you had that issue or not...congrats.
