Well I got a set of these cams back in Nov. from Tim and T&J but just finally got them in last weekend. A big pain in butt on the valve spring change out. I have the NA grind stage 1 for my 2002 GT. At first it was rough. not a good idle and not really a good run. I reset the cpu and backed off the timing adjuster to stock setting. let the car run for a bit and its running much smoother but I still think something is not right. there is a bit of hesitation now that wasn't there before. still a noticable power difference in the higher rpms but almost a drop at the lower ones. I also changed the fuel filter, spark plugs and what not when doing this. I seem to smell gas alot more now since the cam change. Its still not the best idle at all. but it has evened out. in the 1800-2300 RPM range though it almost I would describe jerks a little when just trying to mainain a constant speed. Anyone have similar results when installed their cams? I am hoping for some responces from others. It also noticably shakes the hell out of the car which is kinda cool. great sound and above 2500 rpm these cams really wake up the car. I am just a bit concered with the lower RPM performance. I see a tune by Tim down in atlanta at T&J performance in my future. maybe. Maybe thats what it needs. I am going to go ahead and change the rear end ratio to a 3.73 gear.
Thanks for all the feedback and anyone with questions on my install let me know. I was around for almost all of the install and helped my mechanic out and got my hands on it myself. I lack all the air tools and nessasary tools to do the job. ended up paying 540 install not to mention the extras. like filters, gaskets, injector cleaner. I installed Bosch platnuim 4 spark plugs maybe I picked the wrong ones. any idea please let me know here or email me at [email protected]
