stock ecm doesn't handle high duration cams well.

I know ppl have ran them so what did they do to get them to work? I have seen ppl adjusting the cams to get them to run. Should you advance one and reatard the other or what? I tried degreeing them and still didn't have anyluck

Jet Jock, on an unrelated matter, do you post on Supraforums under the name DeGree? Your particular brand of smug useless posting reminds me of the type of trolling degree pulls.

I don't know if he did but I degreed mine with a degree wheel and it still wouldn't idle with the stock computer would it work better to retard one and advance the other to get rid of som overlap?

You do realize that wasn't a troll comment right?

Maybe you should know more about the subject before you call something a useless comment.

Try advancing the intake 2° and retard the exhaust 2° and advance the ignition timing to 12 BTDC and go from there
This only based on all the reading I have done on upgrading cams in this car.....

Well this what i found out, i started by pulling out the cps unit, pulled all the plugs out laid them accordingly to firing order witch is 1-6 3-4 2-5 disconneted the fuel relay and spun the gear on the cps and found that the wiring to the coil for 3-4 and 2-5 was backward (thanks to tweaked performance) 1500.00 u would think u would done it right just saying, that why when I pulled spark plugs 2,3,4,5 was wet with gas, next was to check the fuel inj harness also wired backward was 5 and 6 inj plug tested with a noid light and switched it around thx god they gave enuff wire for that, again thx tweaked performance, so tmr i will put the motor again and see if she will start.
