Hey guys my buddy has an E-cam in his car and it purs like a kitten at idle. The cam lobes but the car doesn't shake.

My car shakes. You can watch the car shake. It's not terrible but it's not great either.

How much should this B-cam be shaking the car? I need to know if I should check for a vacuum leak or something. It seemed to studder a bit when I drove it down the street but I need to change my fuel pump and injectors.

the b cam has a pretty wicked idle. Just be sure all your mounts are ok.

if you're idle is set too low, you can try bumping up your idle a tad, that should smooth it out a little.

My B with stock mounts shakes pretty hard too, but I like the awesome drum solo sound from the exhaust.
