It's a punk enough cam that you probably don't need to
worry about it. It's not the lift that bothers accuracy, it's
the overlap and that cam has none.

*shrugs*

my buddy went from a stock 01 cam to a stock 98 cam in his ls1 during his rebuild and on the 01 tune it idles like it has a large cam, smells like gas, and is a pain in the *** on cold starts

makes me wonder because several people on here agree it should run well without a tune

his car pulls hard its just annoying
