You need a tune for any cam

When I had the hotcam kit. I ran mine without a tune for a while. Didn't work so well either till after I got a tune.

Get it tuned, no it's not the biggest cam but it's far from stock. I've never fouled plugs with mine but I got it tuned before I ran it after the cam install.

I ran mine for almost a month with no tune and it was very driveable. Just idle was rough as hell, then one day it wouldnt start lol After the tune it fired right up.
