im depressed
im depressed well, i put this cam in the car,and to find out my car runs like ***, all the rpms are different. i freakin have to be in 6th gear to do 50 at 1500 rpms ( used to do 45 in 5th at 1500 rpms ) the car falls on its face at a stop sign, the oil prossure is at like 20 psi. i now have a leak under my timing chain and the car pulses when driving....i dont know what to do.
Oh, and i leave for college tomorr ( thats 300 miles away ). So yea, im pretty screwed.

should have gotten a tune...its goana run bad until you do...
timing cover leak is common...need to drop the oil pan almost completely to get the timing cover off...cam surge(or pulse) is normal at loe rpm with cam
you need to buy an extra computer and send it to get tuned...

did you put it in yourself? or did someone build the motor for you or what? oil leak and low pressure, sounds like what i dealt with which was missing front galley plugs, collapsed lifter and damaged a couple rockers.
well, the front leak has now been stopped. thats good news, i've cleaned teh IAC, now im getting a code
23 manifold air too low
I adjusted my rockers with the engine running, allowing them to clack, once i stopped the clack i then did a 1/2 turn and then locked down the rocker. also, my oil pressure is like below 19 now...its nuts. Any ideas guys? The tune has been applied, the tune was done by ion, i spoke with him today and he says that there is another problem that exists on the motor or another part. Any ideas guys?

rpm vs speed in a particular gear shouldnt change with a cam swap, especially with a stick. everything is locked up. maybe your not looking at it right or else something else is off (speedo)
