I've heard of Cam surge.. but this is nuts
 
While this isnt exactly "cam surge" my car tends to "surge" while in the middle of a WOT run ... It will literally pull 10mph in a split second and then start its slow ass pull again... Kinda crazy! LOL Noticed it the first time while doing a high end run..around 120mph it felt like the hand of god was pushing me..then just kept going normal again. :confused:

This whole setup is just pissing me off.. Thinking of just parking it for winter early and try to work all the kinks out when I can.

I don't think what you're expierencing is cam surge. Cam surge happen at lower rpms generally between idle and 1500 rpm or so. With a good tune you can get ride of cam surge. I run a 236-245 115 cms grind cam and before tuning it used to buck like crazy but now it's all gone. But anyway like i said doesn't sound like cam surge, sounds like the cpu is retarding timing. Do you have roller rockers? Normally after a cam install it's a good idea to get a lt4 km to desensitize the knock sensors from the added valvetrain noise.
