How many miles on it after the cam install? My truck would usually act pretty radical after a cam until about 150 miles, or so. It needed time to learn and after it was pretty smooth.

Lance, don't drill it just let Allen do his magic! He can get it to idle smooth without drilling the plate.

if you're gonna drill it, drill another hole, don't make the stock one bigger.
