    Id be getting it towed to your nearest decent mechanic/tuner, im no mechaic myself but mabye the cams out or the cars computer is not adjusting to a aftermarket cam and is going what the bleep have you done to me, with an exhaust intake and cam youll benifit from a professional tune anyways.

    as above, you'll need a tune for it to run properly or run at all in your case
    Chev badges are an instant fail

    quick update they found the problem the cam sensor was broken new one is in and now the tuning has started they think i might hit a 290-320rwkw on 98octain i'll be happy with 290rwkw ( and the noise was from the rockers because they are part of a all new valve traine)

    1st run just done 289.7rwkw and 810nm of torque needs a little more tuning they said fuel was a little lean and they found out my heads had some work done to them in the past can't wait to see what she will do in a couple of min they said it will crack 300rwkw i'm so happy with my senator might have to take her on a cruise after this (anybody know where i can get some new injectors cheap ones after this i won't have heaps of green)

    BOOM 301.3rwkw and 841nm of torque not bad for a car with 168,298 km on the clock and fuel injectors are stopping her from higher numbers
