Tune after LS6 cam Install? I put a newer 02 short block in my 98 T/A this weekend, I also put in a 03 LS6 cam and some 241 cast heads over the 806's
Now the car idles like crap in drive, and surges alittle. Sometimes it wants to die. It had thrown a ses light for a 02 sensor but has since gone out, but the car is still funny.
I know the car needs to be tuned, but is it supposed to idle this bad with a freaking ls6 cam? I have to wait a little bit before I can have it tuned as I just spent a fortune having the motor installed.
And yes, the cam gear and crank gear were perfectly lined up so I don't think the cam is out. Car runs real strong, just idles like ****..

I went from a stock 02 F-body (i mean truck cam) to an 03+Zo6 cam and ported 317's My idle hunted for a while but soon settled in. It probably more to do with it being A$ instead of M6. If you drive it around a little does it seem to get better?

nope, I drove it home today and its searching for idle. Sometimes it gets close to dieing.. and did die a few times crusing in the parking lot while turning.
Not running as bad as my old roomates untuned f-13 car or anything, more annoying then a real problem.
It ran perfect before the swap. Im running a bone stock 98 tune, minus some changes in the trans tables.
I have a feeling one of my o2s might be bad, but the light has gone off.. damn 98 pcms
