    Default Wheel spin or stall.

    G'day,
    I run a warm 202 in my VC - VH i have just removed and replaced the top end as a result my engine wants to stall or simply create wheel spin it doesnt require a great deal of rpm to create loss of traction. my idle is set at around 1500 rpm any lower it will not idle. I have a sneaking suspicion that the cam is also a little too big for the set up i run ( as the car almost moves sideways during idle lol ).......any ideas ?

    I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I WROTE THIS HERE .......
