Default Cam idle?

every since I got my cam installed (see sig), I have had issues with cold start dying. When it dies and I go to restart it has an excessive crank time, and I was wondering what you guys thought. Is it slow to crank because of to much fuel in the cyl ? lack of fuel? any ideas? They set the idle speed to 1100 rpms so im a little annoyed that I have to sit in it and rev it up for several minutes to keep it from dying when started cold, and just want to make sure its related to the cam and not something else. thanks.

Sounds like your idle tuning kinda sucks.

I agree completely, trust me Ill never use this company again. Any tuners think they can fix it? Wish I had put this in the tuning section now.

I am sure that if you get it into the hands of a good tuner they can get it running smoothly.


BTW: RE your post in auto tranny section, I definately would not lower your converter lockup MPH with the car running the way it is.
