new cam and ls1 edit car is a dog, HELP!! Just installed the C2 cam in my A4 T/A. I had MTI do some custom tuning with LS1 Edit and the car runs like a dog, and it is real sluggish on the top end. Car is running a little rich and I am getting around 3-4 degrees of knock retard on the shifts. I had the rear O2s deleted and I took the simms off (if it matters) The car was running 12.30's at around 110, before the cam install, now it is running 13.30's. Does this sound like a tunning problem or a machanical problem? if so what could it be? Taking it to MTI tomorrow to let them have a look at it. Ow ya and the car is still pulsating when idling in gear... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

All they programmed out was the check engine light when the system faulted. It still runs the diagnostic on the O2. Also make sure that turned the COTS off! that dumps extra fuel at around 5000 rpm and that kills HP. It's supposed to cool down the CATS. But yours are gone. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
