VHP 44 cam(210/218) installed.. impressions
well i finally got the 210/218 .531 114 cam in the 04 5.3 ECSB 4x4. I put some ls6 springs on there(.550lift) and comp chromemoly pushrods. Only other mods right now are the volant and dynomax dump before the rear axle. ASM's go on in a few days along with ls1 fans and a nelson tune since i need the nelson tune to make my fans work
anyway... idle was lopy.. it idled fine for the first 30mins. Now it surges when i rev or put the truck in gear. Im gonna have to get nelson to edit my idle someway but its not idling to extremely well. Sounds awesome, but it cant handle the almost stalling when in gear. Im sure nelson can fix that
anyway... the truck lost a tad below like 2600? But when flooring from stop it spins for a sec, then hooks.. then once the cam gets around 4k it ROASTS the tires! Awesome torque and it pulls hard! Cant wait to get the headers on and my idle fixed and i should be a happy camper. Powerwise and pull is a very noticeable difference though

thats what im gonna look for its that little lag down low in some dead rpms so that should fix it.
I just have to get my idle straight now before getting a stall
Bud, did you truck idle fine when you put her in drive or rev? My idle just drops to low so it surges after revving or going into gear

I had the vhp cam 1 tune in there for the cam and it didnt seem to still wanna idle. I had the idle raised even with the vhp. But the rpms would drop to low as soon as i put the truck in gear, then back up to the normal. Im guessing the Idle airflow needs to be tweaked a little.
im ordering the nelson tune today so ill see if that helps
