C7 LT1 gen V btr 225 cam woes
Anyone in here with a auto 6sp c7, stock stall running a btr 225 cam? Ive had this cam for months and my tuner can not get its drivability down for some reason. Mainly at idle and startups and coming to stops. Rough startups, hunts for idle, so.etimes i gotta use the gas pedal to get it started, sometimes even a flashing cel for missfires at idle. Anyone else experienced these head aches also with thier 225? One tuner wouldnt even take my business to tune it because of the cam combination with stock stall and rear end gear ratio ect, basicly didnt want his name on a tune because he doesnt reconmend the cam with a stock stall speed. Btr advertised that its stock stall friendly......so yeah...idk.

What throttle body are you using? Gen 4 vs Gen 5 tuning is a bit of a learning curve. A reputable Gen 4 tuner will still have to learn how to make a Gen 5 behave if they haven't tuned a cammed Gen 5 before. I only say this to add that if your tuner is a reputable gen 5 tuner, then I would look at the throttle body. I have come across a couple of them that just make tuning a cam a real headache.

Its stock gen v throttle body. Only mods are headers, cnc PRC heads, vararam cold air intake, e85, and the 225 cam. Im not sure how much tuning experience he has woth gen v's, but everyone in the LS world knows him and praises him. Thats the one reason why i went with him with my LS g8.

It was another remote tuner. It wasnt the ones you mentioned. Not too many choices here in michigan for dyno tuning.

Done that cam and it drives really good in the A8's. Never done it in a stock converter A6, it might push through the brakes a tad w/ a stock converter but it sure won't do any of the stuff you're talking about. Find a better tuner.
we do not remote tune btw.

Curious what you ended up making with the V225, I just did Katech ported heads, V225 cam, 103mm katech tb, corsa intake, ARH long tubes w/ their "extreme duty" cats in the x pipe, MSD intake manifold and came out around 535 on E85.
