>>>*The gentleman's email came in first with the same heading. I doubt he means anything by it.
It doesn't bother me any, I can't keep cams in my building anyway. I have 200 on back order right now and had to quit listing until I get restock.
The simple fact IS that any cam change combined with other additions certainly CAN equal problems, we have no choice but to design from a bone stock application, of course.
So I want a solution, just trying to help, figure out what is going on. I am way behind a lot of you folks on tuning problems, thus I suggested the gentleman post his concerns here so my peers can offer help.
Since the vast majority of users report nice results, I need to know what is different here.
That is why I personally bumped this thread, I could have just let it go off into cyberland and forgot it.
I think that what is going on is a combination of additions, these engines are sensitive to changes. The 261C is so close to the Comp Cams 260 that some mistake it, not noticing the nose design for quieter operation and the fatter ramps. The profile is simple and will normally have zero detrimental effect on the way the engine runs, simply adding air flow potential for some power gains.
Yet some report a chattery idle, some report smooth as silk, some report a need to bump up the idle speed by around 50-100 or so, and rarely...something wrong!
Of course if another problem exists, adding intake airflow can aggravate it. I just want to know.
I certainly didn't mean to step on toes, Ted. I highly respect you and know your components are used by thousands w/o problem. I've made the mistake in the past of narrowing the potential cause to one item and forgetting that 15 other things have changed or are not adjusted, and that typically ends up in a bad scenerio (for me). A holistic view of the problem is necessary.
