Problem after cam install.

[pmcferron]

heres the video of mine, it seems like it has prgressively gotten worse especially now that im running the air conditioning on hot days. its like you mentioned before, ill be driving with the cruise on and you hit an incline and its liek it just falls on its face. the video below was me in 3rd gear traveling up hill, my car has 4.10's so i definitely wasnt lugging it.

Yeah man, thats almost exactly whats going on with mine. Did you just do a cam or did it just randomly start happening? No code?

 

[pmcferron]

almost identical mods as you, JLT series 3 intake, steeda delete plates, BBR stage 1 cams, mac longtubes. its been doing it since the day i got it back from the tuner, no kind of code. i never contacted my tuner because i thought it was somethinb mechanical in the VCT maybe. it hadnt been doing it a whole whole lot until i started running the A/C alot, im def going to contact my tuner now and see what he thinks.

I'm fairly certain bbr had a recall on those cams recently. Something about they were ground with an incorrect centerline.

I remember hearing something about this as well Bruce. Deserves a looking into for sure!

Just read this, my car is doing the same thing, only difference is I put in Hot Rod cams and used a different tuner. I have contacted my tuner and they have asked me to data log the car and send it in which I did. The next email I got asked to verify the type of intake and if there was any restrictor in it or not, which there wasn't. I haven't heard from them since. I'd be interested to see what ends up fixing yours, a tune or something else.

I was the one who first discovered the incorrect cams. I have a "corrected" set in my car now, although they too were a couple degrees off and we had to use trick flow adjustable crank sprockets to fix it.

These are not cheap parts...inexcusable.

 

[pmcferron]

Yeah, if I had it to do over my car would def have hotrods or something, anything but a cam ground by comp.

Wich one of your cams was off? Drivers side?

 

[pmcferron]

I think so, but I honestly dont remember for a fact which one it was. One had more lift and duration than the other and the intake centerline for both was off

 

[Sprayin Blue 3V]

But you got the cams corrected and its still making the problem? So i shouldn't just assume my cams are wrong.

 

[pmcferron]

Nah, I wouldn't assume that, my car has the so called "corrected" cams in it and is behaving just as yours is. I'm going to get ahold of my tuner, if it's tune related I have no doubt he can figure it out. Also if you find anything out, keep me updated, hopefully we can both get his issuer corrected.

They used to have much better QC, but it has been subpar for a while now. I used Bullet Racing for my cams that I am about to put in my car and they have much better QC and much more knowledgable tech personnel. I don't know of anyone who had any problems with them and they are used by pretty much all top modular engine builders.

 

[CraigNnem]

Subscribed, having the exact same problem for about a year now except mine boggs until about 2600 rpm's then acts normal again. I assumed it was VCT or something mecanical also since it seemed to start happening out of nowhere.

Bolt-ons, 127300's & brenspeed tune, It was doing it before the 127300's but it seems more frequent after.

Hope you guys figure it out, it's annoying at times, but I learned how to "drive around it".

Lol, half the people in this thread must own the majority of stock in the "Jump to Conclusions" mat factory.

It was the passenger side !

Wow, that is the most helpful tidbit of information I've seen on this forum so far!

Hey guys, just a suggestion for those with f/i..Mine was doing the same exact thing. I have the stage 2 cams nsa in my 06. Recheck your mafia to make sure its on setting 2. mine was 360 degrees off but it still looked like it was correct. Also check you duty cycles. pulled my pumps out and noticed it was full of holes. (new gt500 pumps) mAfter fixing those 2 things,,car screams, no more bog.
