    Default cam holding back power

    i recently had a new cam installes in my 5 litre.

    It runs fine when driving normal and sounds good.

    before i got the cam and still now, If i put the pedal down the car will rev at like 5000rpm for 20 seconds before it kicks off.

    This is really frustrating.

    Does anyone have any idea what it could be? maybe i need my trans serviced, i know its due. Or could it be a tuning problem?

    well.. if its revving and not going anywhere.. i'd be guessing your auto..

    Dont think a service is going to fix much though..
