Hey Guys,
A week ago today I got the cam done along with pushrods, underdrive pulley and tune in my LS3 Clubsport, powers great, sounds great but that's where the fun stops imho.
It runs hell rich on startup, that I was expecting so no biggie there however I have 3 concerns at this stage and wondering whether these would be considered as 'normal' before getting back in touch with the place that did it:
The cam specs I am not sure but it was around 228 (wouldn't divulge any further details), power delivery 1700 - 7000rpm from what I've been told but my belief the tune isn't right.
I think I put all the details up but any questions by all means shoot away.
Any helped appreciated.
Cheers
Darren

- If I start the car and head down to the local BP probably 2km away to grab a coffee I jump back in the car and it struggles to start, flick the key, the revs are low as hell almost to stalling point then it roars to life after say 3 seconds, not what I'm used to being flick the key and it starts perfectly without sputtering. This can easily be reproduced by starting the car up for a few seconds and shutting it down and repeating not that I like doing this. I stalled the car thanks to the next issue yesterday and it took me 5 - 6 attempts to get the car going again, I had to resort to using throttle for the very first time ever to start the car.
- On take off there's seems to be what I can only describe as a flat spot with very light throttle applications, a quick blip of the throttle to bring the rev's up to match the clutch coming out it almost seems to miss.
- This probably falls under number 2 as well but here we go. The car now hates low speed (20kph or less) for instance work car park where we are required to do 10kph, when using very light throttle (around say 1500 - 1700rpm) the car surges almost as if I'm putting my foot on and off the clutch, a bit like bunny hopping when we first learnt to drive a manual It gets into that rhythmic pattern, other than riding the clutch I'm not sure how else to overcome this.
The cam specs I am not sure but it was around 228 (wouldn't divulge any further details), power delivery 1700 - 7000rpm from what I've been told but my belief the tune isn't right.
