Default Cam!

So this is the cam that's in my car, BTR 33042154 Jam Cam, Hydraulic Roller, 230 int./242 exh. Duration, 0.609 in./0.615 in. Lift, 115+4 LSA. Is this cam supposed to buck in parking lots or is this a tuning issue?

it's a bit more tricky to tune a big cam like that for off idle
so yes, fiddling with the tune with someone really sharp

I have a similar big cam in the p1sc blower car and getting off the line takes a bit of throttle. I installed an AeroForce and can now monitor TPS (throttle) so I can see better how much foot

needs more specs on the engine that this cam is in. Makes a big difference. My car is a 414 so the big cam is a bit more mellow with the large displacement

that cam in a 4.8 would be a bit more soggy on bottom end and need to rev to perform

I had that cam in my stock ls1 with SI and it definitely had some surge during rush hour traffic.
