[LS3] Hard to start after Cam Upgrade

[Darren]

As we all know from previous threads we aren't here to publicly shame companies unless someone elses cares to foot the lawyer bills associated with it.

Spending a little over $4k you would expect it to be spot on but everyone has their bad days and could be a whole lot worse.

Off to delete a couple of posts.

so its true then..goodluck...but as you expect with anything you spend that kinda money you expect results..guess the tuner was having a bad day

Hey mate

Ive got the oztrack HPS cam which from what ive read is pretty large and Steve from oztrack has remotely tuned it, mine starts easy everytime but i do notice the rich smell tho lol

Mine does the same as urs with going slow speeds jerking ect, cant really avoid that with a decent cam, hows your fuel eco been btw?

On take off too if i dont give it enough revs its splutters and backfires a bit til the revs raise over 500rpm or so but the 3.7 gears on the way should fix that

Hope ya get it sorted soon man

hi wogboy , i have the vcm 7 in my ve ss and got 10.2 average on the way back from adelaide after i had it tuned at willall , i was sitting on the speed limit the 450ks back to mount gambier and only had one spirited overtake as the amount of cops on the road was crazy .
i was told by vcm to fit the 3.7 gears as you mentioned as it would make the car much nicer to drive , i think with a cam of any real size your going to have to ride the clutch a little get her moving

My brother is having trouble with his wagon. So much so that he's sent it down to another tuner in melbourne to have a look at it. Not blaming anyone as it could be something else entirely but i'll be interested to see how it comes back.

Oh true first problem ive heard with oztrack, i was having starting problems a while back and it turned out my main earth wire on the left of the engine bay was lose are arking pretty bad, burnt the block, that got fixed when i put the cam in, could be something he could look at
