    car running rough after cam swap and tune

    we didnt dial the cam in, just dot to dot. after a little more driving with it, once its warm its okay. just up until running temp its a bit rough. Hi-tourque @ helensvale tuned the car. im finding the cause of the rpm drop is when im driving slowly say from 0kmh - 20-30kmh then take my foot...

    car running rough after cam swap and tune

    Always use 98 caltex or bp. Yes its worse on cold start but still struggles at running temp. Does anyone else have this cam or similar? Ill check for vac leaks tonight. And 100% sure lined up the cam correct

    Hard Braking = Vibrations through pedal and audible from front of car

    +1 for rotors. you'd almost have to jump on the brakes full strength to lock it up on a flat road in the dry (what were to conditions of the weather and the road?). i know the feeling your talking about, i get it to sometimes in my car. its not the ABS.

    [LS1] things to replace when doing a cam swap?

    yeah i know what you mean but its only got 130k on the clock, the $ vs. gain just isnt there. how often is it, that a mild cam stuffs a stock lifter? all the mates i know didnt change lifters and havent had problems.

    safe to drive?

    See pictures. The sway bar link pin has come out of the strut, if i can get it to the mechanic they will fix under warranty (im guessing dodgy install, either didnt tighten the nut or it wasnt even used). It makes a pretty bad clunkin sound when steering around tight corners and goin over...
