constant stalling after cam install
so I just had my WCCH and Kaotik Cam installed on my E force supercharged Z06 and soon as you let off the gas she wants to stall. maybe my mechanic missed a vaccumm line or something is leaking? I should be able to at least drive the car to get tuned without it stalling? I need to commute 300 miles to a tuner.

It doesn't sound like the injectors were replaced but I can certainly see that it does have a lot more airflow. The idle/air bleed etc needs to be adjusted to compensate for the cam. You know it needs to be tuned, but if the injectors were replaced be careful that it may be running too rich and can wash the cylinders. Any codes?

Nope, depending on how much the airflow characteristics changed from the cam/head swap your current tune may not be able to return to idle properly. If stalling is your only problem then you can probably limp it to the tuner, stop signs and lights will get annoying (just give it some gas). Do not go WOT until you are fully tuned.
