I'm not sure yet. I haven't really driven it much. I think I have a bad O2. My initial log showed that it was barely reading. Yesterday after I fixed the ground and did the plug wires it ran great. It felt like it had more bottom end than my old cam, yet it took off around 4000rpm like my old cam. Anyway, today it would barely idle and my O2 sensor wasn't reading again. Boo....

Of course, that bank could be reading lean because the injectors aren't firing properly. But then again I'd be getting some KR too and I'm not at all.

My speculating was right. It was a loose injector wire, causing bank 1 to run lean. Oh well, easy fix and it didn't cost anything. I must say though, this cam is a ton better than my old one. It has way more bottom end! I haven't boosted past 2psi as I am still tuning, but I can feel and hear the turbo spooling faster. Plus a smooth idle at 700rpm is a lot better than a rough one at 900-950 rpm and only 9" Hg of vacuum.
