so i put everything on, the car had been sitting for a few days and hadnt been started in a while. i also have a 230/228 cam that i just put in on sunday. still untuned, i finished putting the ls6 intake manifold in today. now, i went to go start it and it cranked and cranked then fired up and died. and on the second time i turned the key, it cranked and cranked but never fired. i tried a third time and it did the same thing. then my fourth time a gave it a little gas and it fired right up and began to idle. so i got the car to run finally. my oil pressure is higher than before. so my question to you is
a. why is oil pressure higher?
b. why did i have to give it gas to start it. (could it have been cuz it has a cam and has been sitting for 3 days?)
c. what are some signs i did the swap incorrect or forgot to plug something back up?
d.anything else i should know?

1. You put the cam in and theres a possiblity that the oring on the oil pump wasnt the best, so no wwith a new oring you have better seal off at the pump. 2. With the cam untuned you have to be idleing eractically so its hard to tell what the oil pressure really is. 3. Just get it tuned and all should be good!!!
