Ok never had any experience with the strokers and cam in a 1994. I am going to start it this afternoon and i was wondering what to expect and what to do to get it running good enough to go down the road set the timing and what not.

You got NO replies

You gave no info about tune, inj size, meter, yada ... yada ... yada

I'll take a shot in the dark and guess you might be trying to make
this happen with the original pcm in its untuned state

Set the tb stop blade screw out a bit and put the dizzy on 10 and
see what happens.

If you got big inj's ... and you should be at 30's or larger

You might not be able to find a very stable idle
especially
If you are running a calibrated meter to match inj size

My focus is on idle O N L Y

With 50 more cubes, the load factors in that pcm are gonna be WAY off
so
I'd not wanna push it in ANY way what so ever if untuned

yeah i should have said something about the other stuff. 1969 351 heads port polished, f303 cam, 30#ers, Maf to match, trickflow track heat, 75mm throttle body. I did get it fired up and ran ok for 5 min. until stock pushrods wore in the guide plates and a rocker jumped off. (I dont know what i waas thinking using stock pushrods and guide plate with stud mount.) Got new hardened pushrods and guide plates putting them in tomorrow so maby i will get it started and see what happens. What is a good timing for that cam. 14*
